mole53 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I plan on building Revells 2008 Mustang as an Eleanor tribute. What I'd like to know is 1) What color was the original and is there a rattle can paint that closely matches it? 2) I can't tell from the movie what color was the interior? This is not going to be a detailed build, but I suffer from AMS so that's anybody's guess. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM4342 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Do you mean the original 1974 movie? Edited June 12, 2013 by MAGNUM4342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 1974 was a bright orange and the second was a gray color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM4342 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Okay, ummm...I don't know how you are seeing orange, but the original Eleanor was code 2157 yellow. Edited June 12, 2013 by MAGNUM4342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Smith Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The name of the color is Pepper Gray. If you look on the Eleanor fourm DuPont is the best match for the color. Also the black stripes are not a plain black, it is a metallic black JSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you're using rattle cans, I'd go with Tamiya light gunmetal and metallic black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Okay, ummm...I don't know how you are seeing orange, but the original Eleanor was code 2157 yellow. And what a god-awful color it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lol yes sometimes it is a blessing I can't always see true colors others a curse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM4342 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lol yes sometimes it is a blessing I can't always see true colors others a curse Understood. I have a sister who is color blind. I would think though, with that condition you probably shouldn't be trying to tell folks what color something is right? I mean I'm not trying to be rude, although I'm probably coming across that way. But that's a bit like someone with no depth perception trying to describe distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
