I could help you with resin (I think) but you would have to paint it to match

In Response To: Hey guys, I'm looking for a rear bumper and valance for a red '67 Firebird coupe promo. Anyone have one they could spare? Please let me know - thanks! *NM* ()

As a side project while shooting the breeze with my compadres at MLRC, I did molds for the bumper and valences in order to save a pretty decent MPC (but was missing those parts.) Found a donor, and voila!

Send me a message on the side if the part would help, you might have to mess around quite a bit to match the red.

I've flirted with the idea of getting some paint mixed to match common promo colors, had good luck with another project using my sympathetic PPG jobber.

  - I like that idea of matching the promo color. I have an old Chevy pickup promo, like a '60 or so, in red bugt was missing the hood. wish I could paint a kit hood to match. *NM*
    - Matching the hood wouldn't be tough. Rear pan, you only need to get close enough for it to not stand out *NM*

        I've shared this a few times, but... my PPG jobber hit the color perfectly, had to adjust the gloss a touch, tho
        
        My brother used to match Lionel train colors with automotive paint, back in the Seventies. I airbrushed a few of them *NM*
        
        My store had a scanner, as long as the sample was large enough, it could read and get a good formulation *NM*
