HIC build stuck need assistance

[mencodave]

I am currently building my HIC and I am stuck with the color, I have experimented with several colors and they just don't look rite.

My question is there a right color or just trial and error, not sure if I am being overly critical.

Also I am trying to locate the sticker sheet for the Volvo panels any help would be great.

Not sure on accurate colors, but you can check out my thread (link in signature below) and see what I used.

As for decals, Trooper Bay has some.........https://trooperbay.com/decals/prop-replica-decals/star-wars-props/hic-decals

I've been keeping notes for when I finally get around to starting mine:

Panel color:
Rustoleoum dark steel

All of it is Rustoleum...

Block Primer = 249418 Black Sandable Automotive Primer (4 coats, hand sanded between each coat with 1000 grit paper)
Panel Primer = 249088 Flat Grey Primer
Block = 7519 Stainless Steel (also applied 4 coats, hand sanded between each coat with 1000 grit paper)
Han = 7277830 Metallic Matte Nickel
Volvo Panels = 7715 Aluminum
Back of Block = 7776 Flat Black
Shiny Metal Greeblies = 7718 Chrome
Small dented greeblies (nipples) = 7715 Aluminum (If you look closely at the small parts between the turn signal arrows on the dash boards, you will notice that they not all dark grey.)
Wider greebs (nipples) = 7519 Stainless Steel
U Clips = 7519 Stainless Steel
Rings = 7718 Chrome

Hopefully that helps.
