ABOUT COBRA COLORS

It's no secret there are many automotive finishes I and other modelers would like to have that aren't readily available anywhere. I created Cobra Colors to address this problem by offering high quality products that focus primarily on modern factory finishes along with our own line of custom colors and accessories. Cobra Colors finishes are specifically designed for modelers who want the best materials and the best performance available. With authentic formulas based on PPG, DuPont and Valspar materials, the highest standard of quality is assured.

Getting Cobra Colors products from our door to yours is conveniently handled online with our user-friendly Miva Merchant shopping cart system. Orders are processed immediately, and with online PayPal integration your order can be shipped as early as the next day.

But Cobra Colors offers something more for modelers on a personal level. Because we care about customer satisfaction I composed the Tutorials to guide modelers through the safe and proficient use of automotive paint products. Based on over 30 years of award winning modeling experience, the Tutorials offer a proven knowledge base that removes the mystery of working with automotive paint to help you achieve a dazzling, glossy finish.

Quality merchandise, fast service and knowledgeable support. Welcome to Cobra Colors!

ACRYLIC LACQUER PAINT FOR MODEL CARS

House of Kolor Paint for Model cars and Airbrush. Sold in 1 oz. jars, 4 oz. and 8 oz. jars. Spray cans, color chip book, videos. Tape and polishing supplies

All finishes are mixed with automotive paints from the best factory formulas available. The manufacturer's name listed is for the most popular car. Other makes may have used a different name for the same color (see key at end of each company's list). MCW now offers an Automotive Paint Reference Guide for Model Cars. It's listed in the Misc. Section (first item).

Colors are formulated in lacquer. All of the finishes are pre-thinned and ready-to-spray to insure that the proper thinner is used at the correct mixing ratio. All colors are formulated to be safely used on plastic, resin or metal models over lacquer primer. Our lacquer primers are safe for use on plastic, as well. Lacquer primer is strongly recommended under all paints. This will assure good coverage and adhesion of the color coat. MCW recommends you test any paint products before applying to the actual model. If you want to specify acrylic enamel only (AE), then you will have to special order a 2 oz. jar. We will mix it if a formula is available (non-racing colors only). If you don't want to risk receiving lacquer, check in writing before ordering enamel. When shipped all paint will be marked (L) lacquer or (AE) acrylic enamel. Special Order information is listed in the Misc. Section.
