The kit that calls for AS-20 is the Mercedes CLK DTM Original Teile, right?

It's confusing, because in the pictures the Mercedes looks like a brownish white, but an aircraft modeler told me that Insignia White was used for the white that makes up the five-pointed star inside the USAF logo, which is pretty bright white. So I don't know if the Federal Standard will be accurate for the Mercedes..

yeah the white is for the clk, so i am not sure which white to use now.

As for the bare metal is for the loctite r34 race car. That I am thinking of using the alcad2 steel or aluminium

I beleive Insignia white is the white used on US Navy jets. And that's what the Mercedes look like. If you want to mix paints like I am going to. I would mix a slight amount of a light grey into white. I am going to use Krylon White mixed with a touch of their Pewter Grey. The AS paints and others in that color are going to be flat paints that will need to be clear coated.
