Scotty Cameron Tei3 original paintfill question

[tenacious84]

Let me start by saying this is my first post, so please forgive me if this has already been covered, but I've searched for the last week unable to find the answer to my question. I'm trying to restore/refinish a Tei3 Santa Fe to as close to original as possible without sending it out and have found all of the help and information on this website to be great. I'm almost ready to put everything back together, but haven't been able to find any information on what colors/products to use to get the look of the original paintfill. I've already read a ton of threads about how to paintfill and what products to use (nail polish/testers enamel), so please don't post information I can find on every other paintfill thread. What I'm looking for is the exact product/color that best represents the original paintfill colors. For example, what brand/color of nail polish or color of testers? I'm not too worried about the white, but i'm more interested in the copper/brass color as I haven't been able to find anything that seems to match the original. Thanks in advance for any help.

The original colors are metallic copper and white. However, I'm not sure what brand of paint he used back then. Hopefully someone else can provide that information.

this should work

Testors Copper 1151 would do it.

FYI - the actual colors that the custom shop uses are not published. If you're interested in other Color Formulas – all colors are Testors Model Master

Tiffany
Turquoise #2765, Sublime Green #2767, Gloss White #1145.
Mix the White and Turquoise 50/50 then add the barest trace of the Sublime Green.

Sublime Lime
Sublime Green #2767 and Yellow #1114
Mix the Lime and Yellow 50/50

Custom Shop Orange
Yellow #1114 and Orange #1127
Start with the Yellow and mix in Orange until you get a muted Orange color.

Baby Blue
Testors Light Blue #2508 and Gloss White #1145
Start with the blue and add drop by drop of the white, the ratio should be 10:1 blue to white.

Dirty White
Gloss White #1145, Yellow #1114 and Orange #1127
Start with the White, and add a breath of yellow (1 or two drops depending on the amount of white) and a whisper of orange (use very sparingly, it’s almost none…but you need to add some) Mix until the paint turns a light ivory or…dirty white.

Mellow Yellow
Gloss White #1145, Yellow #1114 and Orange #1127
Mix the same formula for Dirty White (see above) and add some more Yellow until it turns mellow yellow.

Grabber Blue/Turbo Blue
Testors Grabber Blue #2764

"Perfect Pink"
Mix Magenta 1187 and White 1145 50/50 mix

Best Match I've found, and I've done a pretty good number of these, are in the Tamiya XAcrylics range.

X-2 is the White
XF-28 is the Metallic Copper
