I've made progress! Actually, I finished out my two Porsches. I showed them earlier in the bare-metal stage (which you can see here) and finally found time to work on all the painting.
A coat of primer, a few coats of color, then all the detail work to be done. I used a beautiful brown metallic paint, and I think it looks fantastic! The color is so rich and vibrant, and the metal flakes pick up the light amazingly well.

You can see I've done all the lights, vents, handles, trim, and fasteners on the bodies according to some reference photos I looked up, and I also did a little work on the interiors. Having a pop of color inside really completes the look for me.
I found a gold marker/pen thing that my wife has that worked perfectly on the wheels to make them look like those I've seen in pictures of this car, as you can see here.
These were both a ton of fun to work on, and I'm really pleased with the results.

And here are some before-and-afters. I have multiples of both models, so a side-by-side comparison is in order! Other than a little touch-up on the white car, these are as-purchased. Oh, and I posted so many photos in here because I just had fun shooting them! Thanks for looking.
