Right, I'm needing some help from you fair folks about the forthcoming paint choice for the MX5, I'm after something pastel, satin and how evermuch of an oxymoron this sounds, unassuming. I don't want to be going this route ![](http://www.diecastxchange.com/forum1/uploads/monthly_09_2009/post-1632-125305252178.jpg) Nor this ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ir6h9Q90O7g/TSh2G_-N2tI/AAAAAAAAB-A/jXS_wFC9VBg/s1600/pink+cars+03.jpg) These are TOO pink for my plan to work Something more like this ![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ir6h9Q90O7g/TSh2FrcRDLI/AAAAAAAAB94/mar9SxbsDyc/s1600/pink+cars+01.jpg) Basically what I'm asking is before I go and yog a wedge on getting some paint mixed, do any of you know of any paint codes/cars with said paint that are available off the shelf as it were? Pleases and Thank you's Foxy ![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ir6h9Q90O7g/TSh2GYwE9LI/AAAAAAAAB98/rxKvsjkWej0/s400/pink+cars+02.jpg) ![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ir6h9Q90O7g/TSh2HvRz0RI/AAAAAAAAB-E/BqPoYOsVj90/s400/pink+cars+08.jpg) ![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ir6h9Q90O7g/TSh2MPOpsRI/AAAAAAAAB-c/lJ1LhvaRL9A/s400/pink+cars+10.jpg) ![](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/81/278399419_7794744046.jpg) ![](http://i18.tinypic.com/52proqt.jpg) ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sZDofLsj804/SrQJAgj8b5I/AAAAAAAAAy0/kwtNjb2FQg8/s800/Pink_Cars_71956_20080511_l.jpg) ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-baJ09KMkmxc/ThBByB_SSOI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/UAjSauPBSvw/s1600/Clint+Ogilvie+Holden+LC+Torana+super%20charged+V8+Gazzanats+2009+16.jpg)

Have you looked through the BS381c and RAL colour charts for potential cheap mixing of military vehicle paint or rustoleum sort of stuff? BS381c 453 could be close to what you're after. It's hard to tell without having a proper chart in front of me, but on the monitor... EDIT: 454 looks far closer to what you're asking on a different online chart. As I says, hard to tell without looking at an actual printed one but it may give an idea ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I've got a tin of light pink/peach that was destined for the Polo, more than enough to do the MX-5. Yours for £15 if it's any good.
