showbuilder Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 tamiya and model master both make a nice flat orange, or you could use a gloss and overcoat it will dullcote to kill the gloss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Welcome to the forum. The Paystar sounds like fun. Are you going to use the blade from the Ford Dump, or use the one from AITM? You might be able to use gloss Orange and mist it with dull coat. This would give you areas where there is still mild shine, yet give you areas where the paint has completely dulled. A trip to a junk yard would give you some reference. This also can be done with a polishing kit. Going down through three or four grits will remove the shine, yet will also leave the surface varied in uniformity.

Ben Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 For the weathered look, Floquil makes a lot of flat, dull looking colors designed for model railroaders. I bet they have a nice flat, dull washed out orange that would look good on an old plow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
