Hirofkd, I'm interested in your NUR-spec Project. How are you going to get the correct paint for the car?

Tamiya calls for 2 Silver, 1 clear blue, 3 clear green and 1 clear yellow in its instruction. However, their instruction appears to be incorrect, and I think 3 for clear yellow. Anyway, using it as a base, I used the following paints.

From left to right, light gun metal, super silver, CLK silver, Sea Side Blue, clear yellow and clear green.
Starting from SS Blue 1, clear green 1 and clear yellow 3, then I added 3 super silver.
It was too light, so I added light gun metal, which made it too dark.
I added CLK silver to lighten it, then I used super silver to lighten it even more.
Each time, I brush painted the color on a black spray can as shown below.

The final paint will be stored in a film case, and when actually spraying it , I'll have to fine tune the color, but I think I got a close match.
Actually, I'm kinda hoping for Hobby Shop GT to release the right color in its Finisher's paint.

I'll go to my local Sayer's paint suppliers and order the colour in mica basecoat!
That way it'll flip!
