Has anyone here used Tamiya light blue (TS-23 if i recall) for Petty blue? I have the Salvinos Roadrunner kit and the molded plastic is darker than the Tamiya paint by what looks to me as quite a bit.
Has anyone used this shade of Tamiya blue for a Petty build, and if so were you happy with the results?
I have used it several times. Spray it over a grey primer to darken and tone it down a bit.

That's exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks
I've done exactly the same thing - at least a couple dozen times!
Which car are you going to build?

I have the first Roadrunner kit they released (Southern) and some decals for the first STP sponsorship at Riverside.
