Paint for my R33GTR
Wondering about a body colur, as the time has come to paint it
 Obviously I need some primer  but ideally I'd like to do it in the famed deep purple. Now, in the flesh, this paint has a tendancy to not look extremely purple. Which is the best colour to acheive a decent look with?Thanks, Tom |

Yes
But which paint for the purple? I can't see anything suitable by Tamiya, which leaves me the scary option of automotive paints, I guess.Also, what colour primer, grey? |

If you have an airbrush, get some translucent purple nail polish!! :evillaugh
Then make the primer white or grey so it'll be a light shade of purple that changes with the light - or make the primer black to make it midnight purple Just a thought  |

I used a BMW colour so you could visit a dealer and get a touch up spray off them.
Rover also do some nice purples. Otherwise try Halfords, they are the only automotive sprays I would use! Grey primer will be fine! |

I may take a trip to Halfords tomorrow, see what I can locate.
Nearest BMW dealer is a fair drive, so that may have to remain a last resort |

Have a look at the VW i done in the gallery. It was sprayed with Tamiya TS53 Deep Metallic Blue but as you can see from the colour its almost purple.

Hmm, I seem to have located a Tamiya spray, Metallic Purple, which goes by the code of MS-6.
I can't however find this on any colour charts  ..If anyone can shed any light on it for me, I'd be very grateful. TAM85306 MS-6 Metallic Purple £3.99 Hmm, there's also the polycarbonate version, I guess I'm better off with acrylics? |
