Hotrod 97 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Any suggestions for a spray paint that best matches Ford Acapulco Blue? I don’t have an airbrush yet (maybe one day...), so spray cans are pretty much my only option right now. I also would like to stay away from automotive paints, as I do not have much experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Well, Testor's used to make it. Maybe find it on eBay or Amazon? I have one can that hasn't puked in the cabinet, and I hope to use it on my Revell 69 Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I got mine from Scale Finishes, but that takes an airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I build mostly models of the 1:1 cars I've owned and have been using Paintscratch.com for many years and the colors are perfect. They now supply paint in spray cans, which I like as less work and perfect color. You should have no problem finding the exact paint.

MeatMan Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 You know you can get the aerosol can airbrush setup pretty cheaply and use prethinned airbrush paint. https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Model-Kits/Airbrushes/Snap-Spray-Airbrush-Set/p/1078 https://mcwfinishes.com/shop?keywords=Acapulco Blue&olsPage=search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
