Help on some paint!

[D_LaMz]

After seeing the paint list of the Top Secret GT-R there were some paints listed that I don't have. So, who makes the paint Iron black and Burnt iron in a bottle and is there any alternatives? Also what is the difference between Tamiya's Titanium Gold, Gold, and Gold Leaf?

[D_LaMz]

can any one help?

Gold Leaf is just their 'gold' color in acrylic. Titanium gold is a more pale version, like it's cut with silver. Gold is the spray lacquer, which is probably a close match for Gold Leaf (Almost all of their spray colors match their bottled colors).

Testors sells a Burnt Iron in their Metalizer line, but no Iron Black that I could find.

Who makes the car? Hasegawa, and probably every other Japanese company besides Tamiya, use Gunze Sangyo/Mr Color paints in the manuals. I have the color charts someplace if you need them.

Hey,

Check out the testors metalizers for the metalic paints you mentioned.

Burnt Iron is a GSI Creos colour I think. Not sure about Iron Black, could it have been Metal Black?

[D_LaMz]

no it says iron black

Hmm. Those don't match my Gunze color chart: Is a specific company called for in the manual?

An IPMS Sweden website suggests that Tamiya X-10 Gunmetal is a substitute for Burnt Iron.

I still can't find anything on 'Iron Black'. Might the translation from Japanes affect the wording?

The "C" color is GSI Creos (i.e. C28)..and from the HLJ website...

Looks like a light gunmetal might be a close match

hth,

Who makes light gun metal and can I mix gun metal with something like silver to get a light gunmetal?
