I generally use auto toners and mix clear butyrate in to make colors to paint planes with. While this gives you an incredible range of colors to choose from, it also has an odd limitation. I have a paint scheme in which I'd like to use a cream color in. Usually, I just look around while driving and if I see a color I want to use in the passing cars, I look the car up on AutoColorLibrary.com to get the color number and go down to the paint shop to have it mixed up. But cream seems to have fallen out of favor as a color of choice in cars.

Anybody either know the color number for cream (unlikely) or perhaps has a factory cream colored car and can look at the driver's side "B" post and get the color number? Or can you name a manufacturer that is currently offering cream color as an option? Thought I'd found one. Mercedes was offering what sort of looked like cream, but ended up being some sort of complex metallic rose. Not really what I was looking for.

Anyway, thanks for any help.

Hey Randy.
the problem with new car colors is they allways seem to have some sort of pearl or metalic in even the simple colors.
try 69 dodge dart or barracuda. they had a cream color that was pretty decent as i recall.
they had a bunch of bright colors available in the early seventies cudas and challengers also. moulin rouge(magenta/pink)also known as panther pink, hemi orange(bright orange),Sub lime(one of my favorites, bright lime green) top bannana(bright yellow,duh)all go well with black accents.but the standard reds,bules, tan etc are nice colors. just please dont do as bad a job as the factory did applying the paint.
I actually have some of the pink and green on some of my stunt planes.(extra paint i had left over).

I just looked up the color in one of my plymouth books: in 69 or 70 the plymouth paint code is L1, chrysler # AY2EL1, ditzler acrylic enamel #22542 or dupont acrylic laquer #49987. it is called "sand pebble beige"

how about you paint the plane your building before you paint the Colussus,, shees,,

"BUTTERNUT YELLOW"
ah come on randy, you can certainly use that color but please dont refer to it as "my butternut airplane"
Just call it super sport nova cream or something like that.

Mark,

I already told you, the new plane is going to be white. No trim, not ink, no nothing. Just a white plane ... if I put color on it at all.

I've already started the Colossus. It will get color.

I know you told me Randy,, I haven't seen it painted yet though,, so,, it remains to be seen,, I guess its a good thing to wait till the Bats hibernate before you paint it anyway,,,,
