I am starting the MPC 1:16 Petty 1973 Dodge Charger in "Petty Blue" and "STP Red". ostensibly a light blue and bright red.
Does anyone have a lead on these paints or should I just guess?
I did read that Petty Blue was a formula they concocted when they ran out of blues.
The plastic in the kit is supposed to be Petty Blue but I hate to leave raw plastic.
Cheers, Jake

Nuts to all but my Norfolk terrier is laughing
Zero Paints offer both colors. HobbyWorld USA carries Zero stuff. I've dealt with them a few times and had great experiences.

Thanks for the link.
Gulf lt blue and orange ordered!
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Gravity Colors carries a Petty blue. I've heard mixed reviews about service but my first order showed up within a few days. My second order says processing for 3 weeks now so jury is still out.
Anyhow - here's the link: https://www.gravitycolors.com/product/petty-blue/
I really want these guys to succeed.
Thanks,

pathvet9Tried HobbyWorld and Zero paints are backordered, bummer. I found Petty Blue but not anything called STP Red. Is there another name for it?
Darn - I forgot to continue the thread on this but I have since received both Petty Blue and STP Red (from HobbyWorld - good service and reasonable shipping costs from NH) and have started using the paint. Goes on well but I am not to the point of clear coating yet. It dries flat.
Also, another friend suggested that I first put down a light silver coat after primer to bring out the colors so I got a Siver Zero Pasint also and it goes down well and shows imperfections that need further sanding.
Thanks to all for the help.
Hi pathvet 9 :
Your thread caught my eye , Because , I got that in the clear bodied version , Waay Back .
I painted it like I did my M.E.262 , Splotches of color and big clear areas . Why ? Well , so I could show off all the Greeblies I put under the car body !
It is an impressive kit , But , I recommend being careful with the suspension . It can be weak . That is , when done , a heavier than normal car kit !
Thanks for the look Tank Builder - how about a picture of your final result?
