|  70s stock gm color
Ok, I bought myself a 72 Chevy body for my scx10, and I want to go with a stock Chevy color scheme, but I can't find any paint that matches the color I want. (Mustard yellow from the 70s) anybody have suggestions to get this color? Note: I would post a pic of the exact paint scheme I want but I can't figure out how |

If you have an airbrush, you could mix your own color.

try here: Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup This is actual automotive paint, so always test on scrap first! worked beautifully on styrene for me.  I bought a can of the correct color for my '67 Ford - it is PERFECT!

not sure what youre calling mustard yellow, but the pactra inca gold is real close to the goldish color GM used on their 70's trucks here's a pic of a ford I painted with this color. it was backed with white, then black to get this desired color/affect.

Duplicolor is the best cheaper option you have unless you want to go with automotive paint. The body paint shop in my area will put whatever color you want in a rattle can so that is nicr

Start with FasColor yellow in a seperate bottle. Start adding black or brown until your color is achieved.
