That would be an excellant way to choose a color combination for a project. To paint a model the way you want to paint your real project to see what it will look like 
The Caprice model is the only one I took pictures of. You can see a couple of the others in the background.
I'll have to snap some of them when I feel motivated.
Well here's what I started with... A 1/18th scale '96 Caprice 9C1 made by UT.
Here's what I was going for, My '96 Caprice Classic...
Here's the end result...
I completely dissassembled the car to paint it, filled the holes in the roof for the siren, and added the trim around the windows and bottoms of the doors with bare metal foil. I even blacked out the center of the grille like I did on the real car.
The paint is the same Dark Cherry Metallic.
Dual exhaust and more detailed engine were swapped from my '96 Impala SS model also made by UT, so the parts were a direct swap.
The car had the incorrect '91-'93 dash in it, so I swapped the one from the Impala model I had already cannibalized.
The interior color isn't perfect, but it's close enough for me.
I built this in 5-10 minute intervals snuck inbetween actual work over the course of 3 days at work. Total there's about 2 or so hours in it. Not bad, huh? 8)

Thats pretty sweet, looks like a Caprice my mom had with the special "SS" rear 1/4 window, CHECK OUT THE HURST/OLDS 455 IN THE BACKGROUND!!
damn,modelroundup will be selling a 66 impala ss model,i think i'm gonna get back in the hobby because of a couple of those models,new 72 442 too!I have been trying over the years to make a crappy resin kit of a 66 imp look good and it required so much work that i quit on them (bought two and in the thrash they whent).
heres some of mine. nothing to great. me and my dad did this dodge stealth when i was little
i made this co2 racer in high school for a class. did pretty good with it to. its carved out of one piece of balsa wood
i built this impala ss when i was going to school at wyotech. had to completely re do the fender wells, i stole the wheels of a metal bodied mustang
this is a model my dad did when he was little. i found it in a box missing pieces so i used wheels off of a crappy semi model and dropped it
