youpey Posted March 4 Im working on the 1976 chevy pickup kit from revell. last night i started painting the grill and realized that i dont know what the correct color is for the chevy logo in the middle of the grill. In the picture it looks like almost a yellow orange type color. I looked in rhe instructions and it was not indicated which color to use. Does anyone make a paint that is the exact color?

Casey Posted March 4 I doubt you'll find an exact color match in an existing paint, but it shouln't be too difficult to custom mix as it's only a tiny amount you'll need. I would start with Testors Flat Yellow and adjust as needed: Yellow - Flat 1169TT - 1/4 oz. Flats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 4 A thin coat of Testors "Turn Signal Amber" over the chrome would probably get you very close. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOBLNG Posted March 4 Or the Tamiya clear orange? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youpey Posted March 4 (edited) I use the tamiya clear orange for the turn signals, but that is too orange. I have the model master turn signal paint in my drawer, i will give it a go on a spare chrome piece to see how it looks. I might need to dull it though Interestingly, on the boxnart of the kit, it wasn't painted and was left chrome Thanks guys Edited March 4 by youpey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve I tried it in a test chrome piece and it looks great. I think im going to use it. I also think this color would make an awesome color for a car. I might have to make one. Maybe with silver base coat Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
