1972coronet Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I've arrived at the gilded conclusion that I wanta paint my AMT 1963 Nova Wagon's interior in that (common-for-the-era) 'aqua marine' shade. I'm looking for an 'over-the-counter' paint to accomplish this ; something in aerosol or brush-on. Recommendations ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave G. Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I use craft paints on my interiors these days, or artist acrylics. Plenty of colors to choose from and what may not be dead on is either close enough or I mix it myself. I brush the colors on usually, but spray the primer. If you go to a place like Micheals you will find more colors than you know what to do with. Or Hobby Lobby for that matter. A lot of people here don't like Rustoleum paints but in the 2x spray paint line you will find aqua, or ocean mist enamels. The key would be to find it in flat or at most satin, you don't want gloss unless you're willing to spray a flat clear over it . Also Tamiya might have a spray can of aqua, not sure since I don't use rattle cans, I airbrush most things. Here is a chart though: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I picked up a can of the Rustoleum 2X paint at our Menards (like Lowes or Home Depot) that has the mid 60's GM aqua interior look and it has a little metallic which looks right to my eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You might look into Citadel Miniatures paints. They have a wide range of colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
