discussion Ford Sierra RS500

[Guest]

Hi, i have a 1/32 ( scalextric ) body that i am doing a conversion on. It started out as a rally car with "texaco" livery ( car painted white ). The original chassis allows the front of the car to sit quite high and the front wheels swing about, which apparently is to allow the car drive smoothly over some of the "rally track" sections.

I`m using a road chassis and making this car into one of my favourite road cars, a moonstone blue RS500 road car.

Now to the point!!

I need to paint the car as accurate as possible. Are there any paints in acrylic model paint i can use or should i just get a can/tin/whatever i can get of "Ford Moonstone blue" from a car paintshop??

If using Automotive paint, what prep do i need in terms of undercoat?

Thankyou

i have recently built a mr beans mini for one of my kids i used primer from halfords and then got the exact colour match for the mini mixed also at halfords so if you can find out the exact colour (colour code) they should be able to mix it for you hope that helps
