Paint advice

Hi all,

I really need some advice regarding paints. I've almost got my current project finished and already selected my next project but I'm not sure what colors to use. :confused: My next project is the Revell/Monogram Goodwrench Service Race Truck. Don't know if anyone knows this kit but the paints are only called out by name and not by any reference I can relate to. I can fill in the obvious paints I have to use, but could someone help me with the others. (if possible in Tamiya paint)

Here goes:
Aluminium - XF16
Chevy Engine Red - ???
Flat Black - XF1
Gloss Black - X1
Gloss Light Blue - ?X14?
Gloss White - X2
Graphite Metallic - ???
Satin Black - ???
Steel - ???
Transparant Red - X27
Transparant Blue - X23

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Marcel

For steel i think that testors has it. I don't use Tamiya paints because i Don't know a store that carries it. :mad: I'll try to get the number later and see if its Testors. I donno about Chevy Engine Red and i've never seen satin black at any store even though most models I build need it. I use flat black. I donno how much help this is but I hope its some.

Here goes:
Aluminium - XF16
Chevy Engine Red - Testors should make this color in acrylic and enamel form
Flat Black - XF1
Gloss Black - X1
Gloss Light Blue - X-14 Sky Blue is a nice light blue, should work nicely
Gloss White - X2
Graphite Metallic - Sounds like gunmetal, X-10
Satin Black - This is simply another name for semi gloss black, X-18
Steel - Testors makes this in Metalizer, enamel, or (i think) acrylic form. The closest Tamiya is probably XF-56 although that is more of a magnesium.
Transparant Red - X27
Transparant Blue - X23
