Monty Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Years ago, Odds & Ends actually offered a pewter, but they are virtually impossible to find now. (Can't even find 'em on ebay or Amazon). There are also some home-decorating paints (Rustoleum, Krylon) that have a pewter shade, but also feature a hammered finish, which is not what I'd want for a car model. So, any suggestions? I prefer to work with enamels, but I can deal with acrylics and lacquers as well. Part numbers and pics of something painted in your suggested shades would be greatly appreciated. This paint is intended to be the sole body color for a future build & should look something like this. Edited March 1, 2016 by Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Here's what I used from American Traditions. It just looks like another shade of gray to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) If you're looking for a simulated metal finish, I'd suggest Rub-N-Buff. You apply it with your finger and buff it to a very convincing metalized look. it comes in little tubes and is available at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. Hears a link to multiple projects. https://www.google.com/search?q=rub+n+buff+pewter&client=firefox-a&hs=NQr&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=NsMgU8-4G5CvkAeX8YBY&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1600&bih=746#imgdii=_ Teators Buffing Metalizer spray-lacquer in either magnesium or titanium would also make a "pewter" like finish.

Mike Kucaba Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The ;32 looks like Tamiya light Graphite, that I sprayed a model with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsnake98 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Duplicolor has one that is close, It's called bright platinum metallic, I used it for an Eleanor gt500 build, it's real color name is pepper gray metallic. Very similar to the color in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
