Hello, guys and gals. I am currently making an AMT 1968 Shelby Cobra GT500. Things are going very good so far, and I am planning to paint the body of the Cobra Acapulco Blue, because I feel that when people think Mustang, they think this color. It's a very beautiful paint color in my opinion.
So my questiong is, what is an approximate Tamiya color for this paint? I am not just strictly looking from Tamiya, some brands in fact make this exact color (Model Master, Gravity Colors, and MCW Finishes).
I feel that I can mix my own colors to make this exact shade of blue, as it is the easiest (I have all the paints to make this color). I could mix some Tamiya X-4 Blue, some X-11 Chrome Silver, and X-2 White.
This is my take to it, although I could order some paint that have closer resemblance.
Tamiya makes TS-50 Mica Blue paint that people use to paint on the AC Cobra, but in my opinion, it's too deep of a blue.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I am open to some other ideas.
