Field_Artillery63 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I mixed three different paints to try and achieve the original engine color. Came out pretty good. Edited June 15, 2014 by Field_Artillery63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field_Artillery63 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 The body paint is a green metal flake by Testors. It was a pain to mix to the right ratio. I nailed the purple metal flake on my hemi cuda though. This is only my second build in 12 years. This was the first I did a couple months ago.

Field_Artillery63 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Lol. Testors gunmetal, testors flat sea blue, and testors gloss green and thinner. Ratio wise I have no idea! Just mixed until satisfied lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
