I attempted to take the roof numbers off my First Response Dodge Charger for MA State Police and it was impossible to do without compromising the French Blue coat on the roof. I've since sanded it down and just the roof needs a fresh coat of paint to blend it in with the doors, hood and trunk.

Using Testors paints, anybody know what colors to mix to get the shade of gray-blue that is on the roof to match the rest of the car?? Any help would be appreciated.

No response from either Board, but a little more trial and error and......

1 Part 1172 Sea Blue to 2 parts 1163 Flat Gray

Works perfectly!!

I'll tell you what, that French Blue on the cruiser is a pretty unique color and a b-tch to reproduce!!

All that's left is the renumbering w/waterslides.

to john testors makes a french blue in the spray can form that might work to

Yes, I have used that in the past on models that I have built from scratch and it does work well, however, in this case I was trying to match the hood and trunk with the factory color code First Response used and the canned French Blue wasn't perfect.

Mixing was the only real option.

Thanks for the advice!

Been to that site many times. Greg is a great guy. I email him every now and again. His brother actually does some custom diecast. It's linked off the site. Greg put a lot of effort into the site and it paid off for sure.
