[DML] 1:24 interior grey matching!!!

["Christopher Hawes" <cmhdevelopment@xxxx>]

Hi Robert,

The blue choice stipulated by the kit instructions will be due to them 
sourcing the colour from a couple of interior shots I have seen that do give 
off a deceptive blue hue. The hue is an illusion. All 6-7 DMC-12's 
modified with all the time circuits had the grey interiors.

If you have access to the Tamiya acrylics I recommend the light grey and the 
one up also from that. Mix a little of each grey to match the interior. 
The seats already are grey plastic, but the sheen is not leather like, so 
paint all the relevant trim with your correct tone of grey. Then mix a 
slightly darker wash and brush that on. Carefully wipe the wash so it only 
remains along the stitch lines etc which will bring out the detail in the 
seats and other fittings.

For sourcing the DMC grey interior I would recommend Travis' webpage. In my 
opinion it is one of the best DMC websites as for one he has used his own 
pictures. It has professional composed look and also has some excellent 
shots of his light grey interior. The link is:-

Good luck, and if any more questions let me know!!!

Hi, I am working on building the BTTF 2 DeLorean (AMT Ertl),
but I do not want to paint the interior BLUE, as the instructions say.
Instead, I would rather match the interior of a REAL DeLorean:
either black or gray. Could any of you share with me what shade of
paint they used for the black/gray?

Thanks,
Robert
