    At most body shop supply houses and especially at car shows you see these plastic "cars" that are painted in the colors offered by the paint vendor. These display models are very nice tools to show how the paint looks over various curves and contours...much nicer than just a paint "chip". I have asked everyone I have come in contact with at these shops and show booths where to get these plastic car-shaped models...everyone shrugs. Does anyone here have a source for these models? I could post a pic if someone needs one to know what I am talking about...thanks.

    Thanks for all the responses, it was a big help. I may have been able to find them on my own had I known that they were called "speed bodies"...learn something new every day. Well I have a hundred of them on order so it anyone needs a couple I'd be happy to share.
