I used Tamiya PS-23 Gun Metal Metallic backed with PS-5 Black.

For the blue version, I used. PS-59 Dark Metallic Blue, back with PS-12 Silver, then PS-5 Black.

I didn't realize that was Tamiya PS-23. I thought it was a silver. I used PS-23 and my body looks much darker.

Rich painted his in California...colors are much darker in Pennsylvania. Little known fact.

I PROMISE I did not intentionally rip off Rich's blue paint scheme since I didn't know what it was for sure until now!

The box photo is slightly blue. Is this because of sunlight or is it a camera setting?

Im 100% sure it is PS-23, I personally painted it. I think it could be photoshop exposure change that maybe the brightened the look of the color.
