Maybe these can translate into Duplicolor or get something from a Dodge dealer.

X-31 Titan Gold is in the ballpark if you silver it down (X-11) a bit.

Well. while it's not Tamiya,

Testors/ 'Model Master'- #2909 Light Ivory is close.

Cruz, your best bet is Tamiya Racing White, very similar to that color.

hey cruz, the '69 Dart GTS on the box is Chrysler Paint Code L1 Beige (a gloss, not a metallic color). Maybe you could get a local body shop to custom mix the color for you using either the PPG paint code (22542) or the Dupont Codes (4998D,4998L). That would be the most accurate way to go if you can't find a close enough match with Tamiya colors

There's no Tamiya out of the can color even close to that (Chrysler "Beige"). Maybe you can find a close match from Duplicolor.

Not only does Tamiya not have a color quite like it, but...why beige? That color has to be the reason that variant of the kit was a complete sales dud. Yeah, we're going to put a beige Dodge Dart on the boxart! Tamiya TS-46 light sand coated with clear might be a reasonable match...if you really have to have beige. It might be too beige, and Racing White probably isn't beige enough.

just got home from WalMart, in the paint isle there is a generic gloss light beige that looked like a dead on match for this color. It's a regular size spray rattle can, right where all the Krylon and Rustoleum stuff is. Might be of some help, IDK

I think he's right- Champagne Gold might work, but it's more, well, GOLD than beige. I can't really tell, but is the box art car metallic or solid?

Okay Bob, sounds like you just might have the answer for me, I just took a look at that color in the hobby store and it looks pretty close. This build is for a friend of mine, he is the one that wants it in that color. Personally, I would've gone with a nice light green metallic but he likes this one.

I'd give a look at TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan, too, if it's not too late...

Chuck- the beige on the box car is a pastel. It's actually a rather pretty color; I've seen a couple of cars in it.

I think the Model Master Light Ivory with a little brown would actually work well. I have seen some Dupli-Color shades that also come very, very close to it. As well as Plasti-Kote.
