Holley carb color

[Dragfreak]

What colors do you guys normally mix to achieve the really light weird green color they have? I'm trying to replicate the real color on a dominator

Eastwood makes a goldish spray called Carb Renew that's a fairly good representation of the gold-colored chromate or phosphate finish, which is a plating process.

To get the exact color you're after, I'd suggest mixing yellow and green chromate primers (typically used inside aircraft models), maybe some gold, grey, or other military drab colors until you're satisfied. Mixed thin and shot over a gray primer base, to not-complete-coverage, would give the most realistic look. Just a thought.

Alclad makes a color called pale burnt metal, which is pretty close also.

I use Tamiya Titanium Gold acrylic paint.
