Do you mean the plastic car bodies for painting to see how a certain color will look in different lights?

Yes. Looking for just that. If possible.

Yep thats what we have in our training center. They work really nice to see how a color will pop in different light and angles.

There's some on Ebay but they are 8"x4". I didn't know how big the Speedshapes are. Just FYI

For you real paint and body pros. I ordered some 2 speed shapes from the company in Michigan. They are 24"x11.5" and just $30 per. This was much cheaper than I expected. Just incase anyone else is thinking of going this route. Should give me a good luck at how the color I'm considering will look.

Since this is a HOK thread do you or anyone have experience with the new Shimrin2 system? it's their new low voc/Cali approved system as I understand. I originally was going with the original Shimrin base coat system but don't know if it will be gone before I get to paint. if so I'd rather switch now.

opinions?

I'm curious also about the difference. I was thinking of ordering paint from the original line before it vanishes since I'm only about a month out on paint.
Also here are the pics of the speed shapes I ordered. The size and shape are perfect for testing the paint colors.
