montelsc Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 what did you make the hub caps out of? did you turn them? got any close up pics? they are the hubcaps from the 70 bonneville kit they werent made right they dont have any lines on them and they dont say pmd in the middle. i also made black dots on the outside edge to make it look like the 71 satellite hubcap they make a very close match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale392 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Root Beer Brown or Turbine Bronze with a black vynil top/interior would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPflug Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 GY9 Tawny Gold seems to "fit" these cars- maybe a black canopy top and light gold interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ones the Dodge name and of course the other is the Plymouth name same color and number either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPflug Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) '71-'73 B5 blue is actually a fairly bright metallic hue- a bit darker than the earlier B5 TB3 Basin Street(Plymouth)/ Super Blue (Dodge) or informally "Petty" blue- became an option on the '72's- I've been planning on building the Satellite coupe/ Road Runner duo from the print ad As the 70s progressed Mopar colors seemed to get blander and blander No need to use an accurate factory color- paint it how you like Edited November 20, 2010 by ChrisPflug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Chrysler's recent Flame Red that you can easily obtain as spray paint at an auto parts store, is in the neighborhood of the red that was being used. There are also a couple of very dark greens in both Plasti-Kote and Dupli-Color's line that are close to the Chrysler dark greens of that vintage. Dark green with the gold/saddle interior would be a sharp combination. Or you could order from MCW or ScaleFinishes and get whatever color you like. The one catch is you need an airbrush.
