Do a search on the web for photos of the bike you are building and maybe you can find some good references for what that part looks like.

It sounds like they are trying to replicate an anodized orange type of color such as you see on some of the street bikes.

Actually, the model is a motorcycle. As for the part, I really don't know. It appears to be a tank of some kind attached to the inside of the frame.

Hmmm... Tamiya makes a Titanium color paint -- X-31.

I have used that same mix in a Tamiya Auto model -- a ferrari I think -- for those orangish rubber suspension boots.

If that's what it's for, it does end up looking very much like the actual boots -- I saw some at a car show.

What is the part that is painted that color?

Mike

Dana,
Sounds like they are making an approximation of Titanium. I've done the same thing, myself. I can highly recommend the Testor's Jet Exhaust, MM4676. Great for airbrushing, and looks alot like the burnt titanium color on jet nozzles. Plus, no mixing!
