In the modelling world, black with gold pinstripes means one thing above all: the John Player Special Lotus cars that raced in Formula 1 from 1972 into the mid-1980s, including the championship-winning Lotus 72 and 79. This solid black gives a dense, even base for those gold decals, and it is equally useful for chassis, trim, wheels and any build that needs a true black rather than a dark grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with blacks\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA black that goes on too dry turns grey and dusty; too wet and it pools in the recesses.
