Star Trek Prop Paint

[jfitzflynn]

So, it's been a while since doing Trek props, but I know I used to always use Plastikote 7173. It appears that color is no longer available. I've also looked into 1004 for my nemesis phaser and still no luck.

So, my question is:
What is a good alternative color for Trek props? Anyone have a good lead on a paint? I've heard duplicolor, but I'm not sure what color code or where to look.

I'd appreciate any advice you could give. Thanks so much.

I use duplicolor DSGM347 for the gray color. The paint manuals list it as a direct replacement for plasticote 7173.

You also might want to try Duplicolor GM478 Med. Marblehead Metallic.

Thanks as well. For the life of me I could not remember the number of that Marblehead Metallic paint.
