Anyone know the 'actual' colour of the silver used on Peugeot 206 WRC cars ?

I'd like to get a suitable colour mixed by Zero paints.

Thanks in advance

I agree from the point of view of colour.

However I prefer to airbrush, and I find decanting TS sprays to be a pain in the .....

I've also found the thinners in 2K can 'reactivate' TS metallics and allow the metallic particles to pool / swirl... Never had it happen with solid TS colours - Only metallics... and I've never had it happen with Zero paints...

Cheers

I used Tamiya's spray for Marcus' 00 car & then used Gunze's Shine Silver for Panizzi's 02 Corsica car. Gotta say, the Gunze colour may be just a touch closer to the colour used by PSA for the WRCar. It has some darker fleck through it making it more grey in tone. But, horses for courses...
