What colors should I use to create a beige rag top?
 
Hey guys, I'm painting a car and wanted to paint on a rag/soft top. I would like to do a traditional beige color rag top but can't seem to find any beige rc paints out there. What color blends or brands should I use to create this effect? Thanks all in advance!

Use self etching automotive primer in a spray can. It comes in a tan color and can be sprayed on the outside of the body for a flat appearance. I used it on a SCT and it hasn't scraped off yet. kinda bomber actually.

Could you post a picture or two so I can see how it came out?

You could always mix the paint yourself.
I recall mixing some beige with white, yellow and brown (tiny amounts of red and black were involved too, I believe).

Always paint a small sample piece first, especially with water based colours, as they tend to changer their tone while drying.

Hope that helps:)

Regards,
David
