ok folks, I posted this up on another forum (a mopar forum, see the link at the bottom if anyone is interested) time to teach ol tubbsy a thing or 2...... on your muscle car chassis and engine components, what color do you paint them? such as....
differentials
leaf springs
rear shocks
drive shafts
gas tanks
4 speeds
front shocks
stock Holley carbs
wrinkle valve covers
washer motor
batteries (also cap color, I have seen yellow and red)
this question was directed mainly for mopars, but if you answer, you can state just what brand you are basing your colors off of. I am looking for the modeling colors you use to represent these as if the car rolled off the assembly line. I have plenty of reference stuff and it varies. also, when I jot down on little pieces of paper what color something is when reading about your builds, I loose the paper. maybe you have some tricks you may want to share. you can add to this list and maybe this can start some sort of data base of 1/25 chassis paint codes. I know some of the articles I have read say that some of the suspension has a gold tint to it, has anyone tried to achieve this?
thanks in advance.
