• Model truck frame question *PIC*
  • Looks like a super dark gray, with a (very) little silver mixed in - that is if you tried to match it with paint. *NM*
  • Very close to Dupli-color Hot Rod Gray *NM*
    • Good choice if you can find it. Was looking for some a couple of weeks ago and none of the stores around me had it. Got a specialist appointment next Tuesday in the Valley will look around down there if I feel up to it. *NM*
      • Five years ago it was in all the local retail.....now all my Dupli-color comes from NAPA store. *NM*
        • NAPA stores around here are pretty much like Auto Zone or Pep Boys, with more tools *NM*
          • We have one NAPA store and being in the most rural county East of the Mississippi they stock a lot of paint!! *NM*
            • The NAPA in Globe shut down about 2 years ago. Got an Autozone and a O'Rieiy's left. *NM*
              • Being the only auto parts store in 1,000 sq miles does have it's advantages!!! *NM*
            • I always wonder who is touching up a newer car with spray cans. Might be people getting ready to turn in leased cars! *NM*
      • Try Pep Boys...I know I'm at the other end of the country, but I found it there. $9 for the tall can, cheaper than I expected *NM*
        • Nearest is around 70 miles about the same as the NAPA> *NM*
          • Best solution might be Amazon, I think I saw it for around $12 with free shipping. Might beat burning a couple of gallons of gas just to find the stuff *NM*
            • Probably a lot like Dave Van, nearly everyone plans a once a month trip down the hill to stock up on things that aren't available up here including modeling supplies. Next week, have to do 2 trips, specialist on Tuesday and different specialist hospital tests on Friday. *NM*
              • Hope the tests go well for you. Best of luck. *NM*
  • Truck frame colors...
    • Tim..........thats REALLY GOOD info.........I'm not realy a truck model builder, have built a couple but always wondered about the chassis etc colours.........thanks. *NM*
      • What Andy said, Thanks. *NM*
    • Great info
    • Thanks, put that in my just in case info file. *NM*
  • I’d look at the various gunmetal paints. *NM*
    • What John K. said, as I have a couple of Humbrol "tins" that would come darn close to that color. *NM*
      • Thanks Boomer. *NM*
  • Considering that appears to be an IVECO, you might want to try European sources... *LINK*
