Hello gents,
I'm starting my first car model - I'm more into military stuff - and it'll be a Mazda Savanna with some little thouch ups. I plan to make something similar to the photo but I'm having trouble picking the paints. I don't want it to be pure white, I want it to have that typical Civic/Integra white. How can I achieve that? I have access tpo Tamiya acrylics, spray cans, Gunze lacquers...

Well you could use Google to get the paint code and then have it mixed for you at hiroboy.com in their Zero brand paints, which are really high-quality. Or you could buy a touch-up can of the real auto stuff (just make sure to prime thoroughly or it'll eat the plastic).

How was it done before Zero paints? :smile:
Automotive paints sound like a good idea...
