JerseeJerry55 Posted September 10 Posted September 10 (edited) Hello all. I will be painting up the body parts for the AMT Ford Police Interceptor kit which I believe is a 1970 Galaxie 500. Can anybody me in the right direction on the correct shades (or as close to correct) of Yellow, and Blue for the project. I will be using rattle cans for the project. I have attached a picture that I found on the internet. As always appreciate any help. Edited September 10 by JerseeJerry55 Lack of proofreading talent.
TECHMAN Posted September 12 Posted September 12 JERRY Was looking thru my assortment of Tamiya rattle-cans, and as close as I can come to those colors (and it seems real close), look at the TS64 dark mica blue, and then the TS34 camel yellow for the other color. Would work for me......😊 DJ

TECHMAN Posted September 12 Posted September 12 Could be, in house, hobby room is 50yds away..... I never took that into account, JERRY better look to see if the patrol car is/isn;t metallic too. GOOD EYE 👍👍 DJ

I should also mention that if some domestic (USA) paint has "poly" in its name, that also indicates a metallic paint. Mica name is usually used in names of Japanese paint colors. 1
Fat Brian Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I would go with the lighter shade of yellow, Camel Yellow is almost orange. There's another color, I want to say TS16 maybe, thats closer. This is the lighter color.
