1970 Ford Boss 302 Chestnut Metallic color match
Posted by santini on Sunday, April 13, 2014 8:01 AM

I plan on doing a build with Revell's 1/24 '70 Boss 302 in the same color my father had, which was Chestnut Metallic, and was apparently one of only 14 made in that color.

Does anyone know of a Color that matches it, or a mix that comes close?  Either Enamels or Acrylics is fine

Santini, You might want to try Scalefinishes.com in Utah.  Even though the Ford oe colors listed go through 1969, he might be able to formulate the Chestnut metallic you are looking for.

Good luck - Bob

Check out the auto store for spray touch-up cans in the metallic brown. If no you can have a can custom mixed but it will cost a fair price. If using auto paint make sure you have a good coat of primer on the plastic first, auto paint is 'hot' for plastics. To be really safe try a test on a primed styrene first.
