FujimiLover Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hello. How can I get this beautiful silver finish? I'll need it for when/if I do this Fujimi KS Mercedes and I'll certainly need it if/when I find my Honda Insight toy car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalefinishes Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What year is that car? If it is older than 1991 it looks like Astral silver (OEM paint Code DB735). 1992 and newer, it would be Brilliant Silver (Paint Code DB744) If you use an airbrush, I can get it for you. If not. Try a parts store for touch up paints. Or try http://www.towerpaint.com/ http://www.expresspaint.com/ http://www.paintscratch.com/ Hope this helps.

FujimiLover Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thank you, but I do not YET have an airbrush. This is one thing I'm itching for the more I work on model cars, the more I want one. I was very lucky with my RX7's finish coming from a rattle can, but I bet it'd look ton's better if airbrushed. If/when I get the airbrush and the model kit, I'll let you know about needing those paints! Thank you for your info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_rad88 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) that mercedes looks like a 92 s-class? right? are those bmw z3 fender grills on the hood? it would be brillant silver. i like new 2008 mercedes silver. its a lot brighter!

FujimiLover Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Not sure what year this Mercedes is. I can possibly check with KS's website and see if they have info on it. Sorry, their web site does NOT give any information on the year of the car. Edited March 21, 2009 by FujimiLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
