70 R/T Charger in (almost) Plum Crazy purple

[STU111]

Hi, when l started this l knew it had to be plum crazy, it’s a pretty iconic Mopar colour. Unfortunately, Tamiya, which is the most common readily available brand here in Australia don’t have a metallic purple shade close. Not to be deterred, l sprayed the body TS-24 purple then applied 2 coats of TS-65 pearl clear, applied the decals, then slowly sprayed 4 coats of TS-13. It’s “almost” that iconic shade. Thanks for looking.   Cheers, Stu.

Stu, you nailed it. I used the same Tamiya base colour on my 71 'Cuda but it looked too dark. Well done.

Cheers,

Thank you everyone for the kind comments on the build. This model represents what I would have driven out in if l walked into a Dodge dealership with a wad of cash in 1970. Gotta love those “Hi Impact” Mopar colours.

Cheers, Stu.
