Monty Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 If you have pics of stuff where you've used the paint you're recommending, I'd like to see them.
Zippi Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I really like the Model Master Leather and the Tamiya Buff. Might not be what your looking for. Edited April 27, 2021 by Zippi
Oldcarfan27 Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Try looking in the craft paint section at Hobby Lobby or WalMart. Big selection of acrylics and cheap prices. Probably will have just what you need!
Dave G. Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 I airbrush craft paints for 90% of my interiors or for that matter cut it with a little water or my thinner I make up and brush it. Apple Barrel has an Antique Parchment, they might have a straight parchment too, never looked. Vallejo has a series of earth tones too I use for canvas and such sometimes. I haven't used enamel on interiors in decades.
Snake45 Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Be advised: "Parchment" was a term often used by the automakers back in the day because it sounded richer/more exotic than plain old "white," which it actually was.

My dads Ranchero has a parchment seats and doors. It's not exactly white or bright white. Kind of has a tint of tan and green in it. Put it in a dark colored car and it looks white. I would think they used an off white to keep from blinding occupants on a bright sunny day! Edited April 27, 2021 by Oldcarfan27
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Parchment was a pretty popular interior color back in the later ‘60s, and as Oldcarfan47 stated, it wasn’t pure white. As a matter of fact, in some cases, there were other variables of white available in the same vehicle. For instance, my 1:1 ‘69 Pontiac Grand Prix was available with either parchment, or pearl, which was a very light bone color like parchment, but with pearl metallic in it. Steve
Dave G. Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Antique parchment is very close to ivory, both have some yellow and who knows what else in them ( well probably a hint of blue or green). Parchment is not a pure white, I agree it might look it when paired next to a contrasting color. I started out with antique parchment to mix the color for the wheels on my 31 Ford roadster kit ( to make that creamy yellow they had).
NOBLNG Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 This is Tamiya TS-7 “Racing White” in the interior. I’ve never seen a paint called parchment.
