RhythmDawg Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hi I'm starting a new model (Revell 1953 Corvette) and was hoping someone would have some suggestions for matching the following colours with model paints: Polo White (exterior), Sportsman Red (interior), Blue-Flame (engine)? I prefer airbrushing, acrylic or enamel is fine, but I would like a name brand that is likely available in Canada. Many thanks and take care, Rhythm Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 AFAIC, white is white, except for Ford Wimbledon White, which is noticeably off-white. Use whatever white paint airbrushes and finishes well for you. As for the red and blue (interior and engine), look at lots of pics on the net (Google-image) and then pick the closest craft acrylic paint you can find.

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I agree. I wouldn't fret too much about the accuracy of colors like this. As Richard said, white is white, and I will add that bright red is bright red for the most part. As for the engine? If it were mine, I'd just pick a light blue. From what I'm seeing online, who knows what the actual engine color should be. Steve Edited October 17, 2021 by StevenGuthmiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G. Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 This is the actual original chevy tone or shade of blue ( supposedly). But I recall rebuilding those engines and it seemed a bit darker than that in my memory banks, course that was what, 50+ years ago sheesh lol.
