Looking for Paint Suggestion - General Motors "Fawn" color

[ToyLvr]

Hi Folks:

I've got some early-60s GM cars in the project phase, and the color-scheme I've chosen calls for a "fawn" color interior.

Can anyone recommend some paint that would be a good representation of that color? I've been looking around at various colors in model car paints, but I haven't found anything that looks "right".

Please keep in mind that I don't use an airbrush, so it's got to be something available in rattle cans.i don't care if it's model paint, or from the hardware store, etc.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Mike

Thanks to everyone for your tips and suggestions.

I made a stop at my local hardware store out in the country, and found that they carry a pretty good selection of "Krylon" paint. I haven't used Krylon for anything in years, but with Carl's suggestion, and having seen some of you mention it in other threads, I'm gonna give it a try. I picked up a can with a color called "River Rock" (whatever that means), which looked sorta-kinda close to the shade I had in mind.

We'll see what happens. Maybe I will post some pix in the Workbench forum when I give further along in the project. BTW, I'm working on a '62 Chevy, and I chose "Corona Cream" for the exterior color when I started the project weeks ago. However, having seen the recent pix of Peter Kennedy's excellent '62 Bel Air in the same color, I may go bury my head in the sand ;-)

Don't forget to look in the Krylon paints at Hobby Lobby and hardware stores. l would say it would be a light tan...

Hey Mike! did some looking around on the net and found a couple of links; The first one (post in the thread) suggests a color from Advance Auto Parts (spray) called 'Arizona Beige' Chevy calls it Fawn. And the other link actually shows the color. Hope that helps.

One of my paint resources is an auto body paint supplier. They at their location, can mix any color paint, and put it in a spray can. This does add some cost, but you could get the factory color in a can if you wish. I would check on this in your area.

All anybody needs to know about paint for models. 'Nuff said.

I remember Tom Sheehy did a really nice '62 Biscayne Maryland State Police car, and he used Tamiya Champagne spray paint. I'd say it looked REALLY good. That was absolutely the closest match I had ever seen to Fawn anywhere without getting it mixed by someone.
