need paint
Posted by grhornet on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 8:20 AM

Hi, I am just getting ino cars, switching from airplanes. I have a couple of 1970 boss 429 mustangs. They use what is called grabber paints. the problem? I can find the grabber blue, but not the grabber orange and green.

  I am especially interested in a paint called clypso coral, but I cant find it. Any one know where I can get this paint color.

                   Thanks in advance, Richard

Testors makes both grabber green and grabber orange in their laquer paints.
When in doubt just build it. Mark http://www.ipmslivonia.org/ipms/

If they can't provide what you seek try this one.

http://www.hiroboy.com and look for the Zero paints. He can mix any colour that you desire as long as you provide a paint code for it. Fast delivery and allmost foolproof paint to work with. I've only used Zero-paints on two cars my now but I will sure use it again as it's a pleasure to work with them. A bit smelly but with a respirator and a fan to get the fumes out it's ok. Nothing worse then a Tamiya spray can other then the 2-part clear that is really bad for your health. So use a good respirator working with that clear.

Yeah, the Testors laquers are pretty nice, but the spray cans really get after it when you press the trigger, so go light on the coats until you get a feel for them.Smile [:)]
