Very nice colour, and great choice on the cab design. Lok's weecade is great inspiration, don't say it ain't spectacular! ;)
I really like that cherry red, what paint and colour-code are you using?

Thanks! Yeah that weecade design is fab, leaves room to put your own stamp on with some imagination.
Well as for paint.
After a couple of coats of grey primer, I started with 'Plasti-kote' gloss red, then switched to Halfords Audi Laser Red Spray, which is a colour match car paint.
Have used 3 cans of spray so far (1 gloss red, 2 laser) wet sanding with fine paper between coats, will probably use one more can before a clear protective coat or two.
It has a lovely smooth feel to it.
