Colour Matching Help (Escort Cosworth - Jewel Violet)


White Jedi

Recommended Posts

I've got a Tamiya 1:24 Escort Cosworth coming from Japan and my plan is to do it up as to what I think is the best colour and version of the Ecos. The Monte Carlo Edition in Jewel Violet.

But I want to know how to achieve, or get as close as I can to this colour using rattle cans?

I'm only an amature and only ever done a few cars with Tamiya sprays, but there's nothing even close to this colour. But I'm guessing with the right primer, and using various colours a close match could be achieved?

I've being using the Halfords spray cans to paint my 1/14 r/c trucks for a while with good results all the time.

With some of the metallic colours the metallic particles in the paint can appear a bit on the large size depending on the scale of the model.

The latest Halfords ford metallic colour I have been using is Ford purple velvet. The metallic particles are quite subtle and small in that colour (going on a 1/14 stretched custom American style truck). 

 

I tend to give the body a light coat of Halfords plastic primer then move over to the correct colour of primer for the top coat (if it requires anything other than the standard grey primer).
