Blue Green paint mix for Revell "Outlaw" suggestions?

[jaydar]

Hi all,

I would dearly love to start this old fav soon but i am stuck as to where to start to dial in this mix. Can anyone suggest a good starting point or their particular mix for this color????

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

joe.

If you are talking about Roth's OUTLAW, you can probably use Testor's Bright Green Pearl, and a little bit of Boyd's Lime Green thrown in for good measure. Pictures would help visualize where you are headed.

Thank you Dr. Are these bottles or sprays?

I thought the OUTLAW was pearl white. Are you going to do the scallops ?

It seems there may be more than one version. Two minutes of Googling resulted in these pictures. I'm guessing this was the original, painted and upholstered in green and white.

Newer version seems to be blue & white...

I'll let the model kit & show car historians take it from here.

For either version, I would recommend Testors pearlized paints. They come in 1/2 ounce glass bottles.

According to the book on the history of Revell, the green version was art work only. I don't think they ever produced green decals.

I cannot seem to find those pearl paints in bottles, only sprays.

There was an article a few years back that the early versions of the OUTLAW had green decals and were updated when re-issued in that kit and a few others. I don't remember the issue numbers . I think the article was in CMM!

thanks Mike, the Revell and Monogram history books were great Christmas presents received last year. Fantastic strolls down memory lane.
