What paint color is on the base?
It actually isn't paint on the base at all. It is a plastic film used for RC airplanes called Monokote. This particular color of Monokote is called insignia blue. I went to sherwin williams and got a matching color for the part that sits on top of the base with the exhaust ports. I will also paint the head the same color.
I use a sealing iron on the backside of the piece to secure the Monokote then use a heat gun on the front that provides the mirror finish you are seeing.
Hope that helps.
P.S. I will also be using strips of Monokote to seal the cracks up between the base pieces. I have a ton of finish work left.
