Not that I have seen. Might want to try Auto Air if your using an airbrush. If not I think you may have to mix it your self. http://www.autoaircolors.com/index.htm

There might be a gun-metal color that would be pretty close. Or try mixing some silver with a little black to darken it up.

I used Tamiya gunmetal on my C-10 build. Closest thing to pewter I've seen. Here's a pic when it was new and shiny.

If you have an airbrush, mix a few drops of black in with some silver. You'll have to experiment to get the right ratio, but that will do it...

You can goto www.paintscratch.com

mercedes benz -> 2006 -> E class

Pewter color code is 723/9723

I do not know how they will hold up on lexan bodies, but works fine on model kits

The color is like the old desert silver (gold) mercedes color under the sun, however inside the garage it looks greyish metallatic

sniper, i have about 15 cans of GM medium Pewter metallic i had mixed up to match the SS, but it is automotive paint, not lexan paint. only way to do it, is paint the outside with lexan (black) paint, then paint over that with the automotive paint and clear if you choose.

you can see it here where i painted my manifold and fuel rail covers. its a dead match to the outside of my car

actually pewter is a mix of gold and silver, basically mix till your happy with the outcome, you want it darker then add black
