Avante Black Edition Paint?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

A 2011 Avante Black Special Edition is on it's way to me. However, I need confirmation on the Tamiya paint I need for the body shell and under cowl. if someone could just confirm the Tamiya PS paint required then that would be fully appreciated.

Best regards

Tamiya PS5 is the black you need but do what I did with my black special and back it with bright silver PS12 I think? Looks really good you get a good sparkle coming through the black:D

It depends on how you want to paint the Black Special.

The Manual gives you two options, Black (PS-5) or Smoke (PS-31).

I would go with PS-31, though it is more challenging to apply PS-31!

I’d go with Core RC Aerosol Paint in Metallic Graphite

its like a very subtle metallic black - doesn’t need backing then 

 

Done this on my comical hornet and my falcon rebuild

or Transparent Pearl (PS58) or Lame Flake (PS53) + PS5 Black to "keep it in the family"... depending on how introvert or Extrovert you are :)
