gbdolfans Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hi all, I just got the Monogram Miller Warrior funny car. I am going to build it and really need help on correct colors. Any help would be great !! Instructions say chassis is black. That doesn't seem right. Also,is the body a Candy red? Metallic? Any other color help?? Thanks,George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 That car was running at about the time many teams quit painting chassis, in order to spend the weight, elsewhere. I am sure that, at one time, I read what color the body was, but, I can't recall, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Leaving the chassis bare metal also made it easier to find cracks and repair broken welds on race day. My best guess for the body is straight Miller beer red. The later gold War Eagle funny cars were candy and pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
