Holee crap Neil, that thing is gorgeous!! how long on the wheel did it take you to get it like that?
I do have a SS set that I am working on.

I did a little practice on a spare one I had (all dented up) came out pretty good after about 40 mins on the wheel but pics hide the small scratches still present when looked at with the eye.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys! Italian Red model paint huh? I think I actually have that color!
