Tan color for Ferrari Seats, And Black for the Body.

[davyou5]

As you all well may know I broke down and decided to buy the Miami Vice Ferrari Daytona Spyder, And I want it to be as accurate as possible, I have the episodes downloaded, so I can view them any time I need to make it as accurate as possible but I am still having trouble finding the Tan color for the Seats and I am also conflicted about which kind of black to use, Model Master's Black (As I really like it above the other Black colors I have used.) or some sort of Gloss Black. Well the kit is not in yet but I am a' plan'in on building it as soon as it does come in , and I want to purchase the color's ahead of time.

And before I forget, it will have to spray can only.

Also while I am at it, right now I am building a Ship for my mother who loves them, and she wanted to be in the Navy when she was younger, unfortunately at the time they did not allow women on ships, allot of what is called for is allot of Matt Paints but Hobby Lobby does not carry them, so what would be a good replacement for these matt paints on the instructions. I have an idea to use some of the other greys that I do have, and maybe use steel and aluminum, but just to be sure I am going ask out here first before I decide to do anything.

From Testors site, here's a look at their "wood" & "leather" colors.

Hey fellas thanks for the info, Yes I have seen the wood color at Hobbly Lobby, and actually it looks dead on with what I have seen of the interior color, so I am going to buy that color. Thanks again guys.

I used good old Tamiya sprays for my build. TS-14 and TS-46 (black and light sand respectively).

As you build and check out episodes be aware of the pilot show having a totally different car versus the rest of the seasons. I built mine as the pilot show car.

While it's close to finished I have a few things I need to get done on it, namely BMF.

Anyway, if you are only able to get paint at HL then I would think Model Master Classic Black would work well.

Here's a shot of my build from five years ago.

Wow ! That looks great! Okay since you have done a Pilot Episode version, I will build one for the Season Episodes.

And on that note I just came back from HL, and caught your posting here, so I did ended up getting the Classic Black, and the Wood for the Interior. It will not be in until around November 1st, so I have a wait time to study and plan out what I want to do . Thanks for sharing that.

Your best bet for acquiring flat paints if the big-box store doesn't carry them is to order them online. Flat paints are flat paints, and even Dullcote doesn't really flatten glossy paints.

Military colors are also a bit different. I would suggest ordering directly form Squadron, which does a lot of military and non-automotive models to start with.

If you haven't yet, I'd also suggest looking VERY hard at getting an airbrush, you'll need it for all your models anyway.
