Skyline Colors

Hi, after a break of 6 years I'll ´start to build models again. I never build a car model before. For the begining I'll order a Skyline GT-R V-spec II from Tamiya. My local dealer doesn't have Tamiya colors, so I have to order them with the Skyline Model. I would be very happy if you could tell me which colors I need for a Skyline. For the body I'll use blue. (I know the most Skylines are blue, but it's my first model car). I think I'll use Mica Blue, because it looks good on the photos I saw. But which colors would you use for the interior (I think it should be something like grey or black), for the rims, the metal parts, etc.? I hope you can help me ....


Sorry for my bad english ... :wink:

Welcome to AF!! :wave:

The instructions that come with the kit will have the colors you need charted out.

For example, the interior of a stock Skyline is grey, and Tamiya's instructions call for their XF-63 German Grey with XF-54 Dark Sea Grey highlights.

Thank you! But which color would you use for all the silver metall parts, the rims (I know, that you can use a lot of colours, but I prefer white or a very dark grey) and at least which color would you use for titan (or maybe chrom) parts?

I misunderstood your question, then re-edited my post.

The instructions will have a list of colors needed like this:
