marcod13 79 Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, i am wondering if anyone has a good idea on how to achieve a teal blue-green as close as possible to the picture that i have attached. Found a Cobra R body set hiding among some HPI bodies at my LHS, was covered in dust and had an HPI Peugeot Rally card on it. It was not the American Flag version. Just the stock Cobra R. Going to do a non-box art, period correct colour sitting on the Ta02. Thanks for your input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blista 1519 Posted October 24, 2016 Pactra RC91 CheZoom Teal is what you're probably after. I haven't had any experience with using that paint though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcod13 79 Posted October 24, 2016 That's prob the perfect color, but I don't think my LHS carries pactra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted October 24, 2016 That bottle of paint in the eBay link above would need to be shot out of an airbrush. I used this color of paint for my Land Rover. I wanted it brighter so I used a white primer. Judge for yourself how close the color is to what you're looking for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted October 24, 2016 "Chezoom" in the paint name refers to the model it was meant for, the Testors 1/24 plastic model kit of Boyd Coddington's 1957 Chevrolet CheZoom. If you google pics of the model and the real car, you should get an impression of the colour too. Although, Shodog is of course right that you could manipulate the colour with your choice of primer/undercoat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted October 24, 2016 This is Chezoom Teal backed with black on a lexan shell. Apologies for the body posts, they've now been trimmed (as has the grass) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvmud 812 Posted October 24, 2016 why not just go out and do the chameleon paint jobber on it like that body style had back in the day?? Like this Truck Norris' car - This thing is awfully secksy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcod13 79 Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks for all the ideas guys, the chameleon is definitely cool! I have my mind set on the teal though, will have to try to located pactra paints locally. Any thoughts on a Translucent Light Blue backed with some Metallic Green, then Gun Metal? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
