Re: What color is this?

Wow, what a descriptive question....are we to assume you're asking what paint color would be a good match?

How about Jet Exhaust?
Or Tamiya's X-33 Bronze would be a close match.

Mix bronze with gun metal, or bronze with semi gloss black, and you'll come up with something agreeably close. When you find a color like this that you can't match, pick a couple that are close, and start mixing! Remember, usually its appearence, not accuracy, that counts.

Re: What color is this?

Sorry bout the broad question Yes I was hoping for the closest match.

Now that you mentioned jet exhaust, I happen to have a MM of this on hand.

I'm too lazy to mix lol.

Thanks for the replies.

Alclad II Pale Burnt Metal looks to be about right.
