Redisetta Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’m going to build a 37 Chevy trying to match this color as I can. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpate Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Looks more like a bronze than a gold. Maybe like a light bronze gold? Maybe a metallic copper? Kandy rose gold metallic? Bout the best i got lol Edited May 1, 2022 by Dpate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 That looks similar to a 50's General Motors shade- Sierra Gold https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?type=sample&ditzler=21261&syear=1956&smanuf=GM&smodel=Chevrolet&sname=Sierra Gold&name=chevroletbelair1956sierragold If that is close, an online vendor who offers authentic shades in airbrush jars may be a solution.

espo Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Testors, providing you can find some, #1251 Copper Metallic in spray enamel. Odds n Ends from Plasti-kote # 143S called Antique Gold would be a shade lighter. The color in the picture resembles a color that was used on Chevrolet and some other GM products. The Chevrolet color was called Sierra Gold when first offered in 1956 and was a popular color on many owner modified cars from that time period. Chevrolet offered the color under a few different names thru the 1959 or even the 1960 model years. OEM paint suppliers such as MCW and others would be a good place to check as well.

NOBLNG Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Yes, one of the scale finishes suppliers would be your best bet. This #9473 Copper is real close….but discontinued unfortunately.😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redisetta Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Thanks again everyone, this gives me a few different options. This build is coming up after I finish one of those UGears wooden models. I decided to take a break from the traditional kits , and build a couple of these wooden kits, I must say I’m thoroughly enjoying the change of pace.
