Iron Man Paint colors w/examples

I'm getting close to the painting stage of my Mark VI and I was doing some research for the paint colors that people have used. I couldn't really find an all in one thread with examples. I like having info on this site so I'm asking people to post pictures of their Iron Man armor along with the color names. With all the Iron man builds that are going on right now, it would be great for us noobs to see the names of the colors with examples. Also, if you can remember, where you might have purchased them.

The standard colors for the traditional red and gold that most people use on here is duplicolor dark cherry metallic and duplicolor Sunburst gold metallic.

But as always there is variation I've seen others use cherry red from krylon and a ton of other reds and golds.

Thanks for the info. Maybe someone will post pics of those colors on a finshed project, in this thread.

I used the same colors dabiddabird mentioned - Dupli-color Dark Cherry Metallic (RED) and Sunburst Gold Metallic (Gold). Some of the pieces of this arm assembly is foam and some is hardened fiberglass and bondo... so you can see what it looks like on several surfaces.


In bright sunlight the colors looks like this...


And this is what they look like at twilight...


**Note the 'metallic' in the paint still shows up very shinny even in low-light.

I opted for a bit darker red, Dulicolor Medium Garnet Red Metallic. And the Sunburst Gold already mentioned.

this guy used the best colors ive seen, they are listed in the top post on the linked page
