|  Match this paint!
Need recommendations on what colour(s) to use to match up the panels on this rig:  Part of my Fat Girl scale build (Fat Girl 2.2 scale rock bouncer). Looking preferably for rattle can colours, since I don't own an airbrush! It's kind of an orange/copper colour. Looks to me like it's similar to the paint colour on a lot of the new Dodge vehicles (sunburst orange pearl). |

Look for a color called "attention whore orange"  I think you are right about it being near the dodge color but I've never seen an RC paint like that. If you could find a translucent orange and back it with silver I think you'd be close. |

I would think a transparent yellow and back it with orange or gold depends how dark you want it. This is the result of my mixes. ( back with orange)   |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Check with your local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer, Mopar Parts touch up paint makes half way decent Lexan paint (do follow directions on the can thought!), I've done a couple basher bodies in Jeep Moss Green Pearl and had it hold up well. | |

You could get really close with SpazStix hard metal anodized orange backed with chrome.

From my monitor, Tamiya Copper looks like the way to go. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFFT4&P=7 |

A few years back I saw a color similar to this it was called " Burnt Tangerine Orange". A real nice color. I think it was a Chevrolet color. Hope this helps.  |
