Good gray color for bodies....

[ruffseven]

What is a good grey color that is non-metallic? Tamiya sprays ?

I really doubt you can find a non-metallic gray that looks good on a body.

I think that tamiya only makes grey glossy if they're metallic, like mettalic grey, silver leaf, glossy aluminium..., but for the normal greys... all are flat, have in mind that you are talking of colours to be used in planes, ships, tanks.... can you think about a mirror like paint on a ship?? an IMO a grey colour for a car, if its not mettalic.. should look a bit.. how can I say it... like if its only primed, you know? but if you still want, yes, go ahead, choose a tamiya colour, they are a few greys where to choose, and to get the glossy, use the clear and polish like always.

Think again! TS-32 Haze Grey is a very nice colour IMO. Nervestrikes used it on his Civic below and i've sprayed my ITR with it too.

I've just realised after digging up this thread that my ITR is going to look quite similar to your civic. I plan to add those rims from the civic kit and paint white too, now i realise you done that already

Can't wait to see it ! cause we all know it is going to be cool.
