What color is an Astro City?

Post by chubsta »

My astro has gone a few marks on it and i want to make it look lovely and shiny and new - i am going to t-cut the whole thing (have made a start and its a big improvement) and want to get the little chips painted up. i bought a couple of car touch-up paint pots but neither matched the astro, so i was wondering if anyone else has done this, and if so, what particular paint they used to get a good match?

(unfortunately a full respray is out of my reach at the moment and the small marks wouldnt really warrant it anyway...)

its actually come up really well where i have cleaned it - very bright! i just wish that 'white' meant 'white' - the colours i have tried would probably match a nicotine stained cabinet better than a clean one - for info, 'Datsun White' is actually cream... :x

The best match would be RAL 9010 I believe. it's milkwhite or something. It should be white white for all I know ;)
