Custom Hearse Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm trying to find the factory color for the 1968 Dodge Charger called Medium Green Metallic. I've checked Testors, Dupli-Color, and Rustolium. I heard a long while back of a company that makes paint colors for models, but I can't remember the name. Any help would greatly appreciated. This is a photo of the color: Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I believe this may be the color you're looking for. Or at least very close. This is MCW (Model Car World) #6858 1969 Dodge "Avocado Green" His website says this was basically the same color from '68-'70. Looks very close to me. I'm using this on a future '69 Coronet build.

Lucas van H Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Isn't this kinda close to the Millenium Jade color that Nissan had? I mean, maybe a few drops of green and I think you're pretty close. http://www.stanleyku.com/thekucars/2011/07/14/millenium-jade-r34/comment-page-1/ Could be I'm wrong, but with a bit of mixing I think you can pull it off.

DR JAY Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 A Local paint shop supplier mixes aerosol cans for me and I decant some to airbrush into the cracks and crevices before I use the can to spray the rest. A 369 gram (Full size can) costs a bit over 20 bucks and comes with extra nozzles with patterns of different sizes and shapes. I opt for the base/clear system as I like things really shiny. Keep in mind that if using a metallic colour, the 1:1 metallic flake will be larger than scale model metallic paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That looks exactly like Ford Ivy Bronze. ScaleFinishes carries it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
