matthijsgrit Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello all, For a project of mine I'd like to reproduce a color that is as close as possible to Audi Nardo Grey. This is a gloss grey color. Does anyone know which color I can use best? I prefer the Tamiya TS spray paints. Interweb search results on colors always seems so inaccurate to me, that I thought it would be wiser to ask you guys/girls! I was thinking, for example to use Tamiya Grey primer and then top it of with a TS-65 pearl clear. So...., what I'm looking for is experiences, input and pics to make the best decision! Thanks!

stitchdup Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I've seen your idea for clearing the primer done on a 1/1 vw. It looked pretty good and was reported as nardo grey in pvw mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 There was an Audi TT running around the local area with that grey - the custom license plate... "PRIMER" There are more greys to chose from in Tamiya's military colors - may be something there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Is it metallic or solid? If it's solid, I'd use Model Master FS 36231 Dark Gull Gray, which is the standard cockpit color for most US military airplanes since the '50s. I have used a LOT of the stuff. I even did my primered '68 Camaro street rat in it. You'd have to clear-coat it of course but sounds like you've got that surrounded. Anyway, it looks just about exactly like your picture.

matthijsgrit Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well, primer + pearl didn’t work out like I hoped. Can anyone tell me if Tamiya TS-81 is a gloss color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time I’ll check if I can find that over here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Tamiya Haze Gray looks pretty close as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
