when u say automotive paint i dont know what you are saying i have no clue to paint what so ever thanks stingray-63

Automotive paint is paint made for real cars, but on spray cans. Auto is old word for cars, hence Automotive as something for cars.
If you have car parts store with repair paint on the shelves, that is the one to use.
Some DIY/ homeshops/ dollar stores also carry paint of that type.
Brands as Motive, Duplicolor etc is of that kind.

Hardbodies aka ABS bodies uses TS paint if you will stick to Tamiya.
And here is the paint colors to choose from. www.tamiyausa.c...ray-paint/

Just use the TS and the number when you want to find it on ebay.

Use the classic brilliant black. For automotive colors, I use Renault brand or ixell. With a plastic primer.

Tamiya chassis is a bit pain to match as they are not real glossy or matt black, they seem to be in the middle.
I don't think you can find a paint that will match the orginal plastic color/shade.

Maybe some sort of satin black, that is a color that is not glossy, nor flat black, but somewhere in the middle.
Ford Capri Mik3 bumpers are painted in that color to kind of match the black plastic end bits.
So you can either try to find Satin Black automotive paint.

Or paint the chassis with TS29 Semi Gloss Black, this is also a shade between glossy and flat.
Alternative TS29 Semi Gloss Black and TS79 Semi Gloss Clear
Or TS14 Black and TS79 Semi Gloss Clear.

If you need to use some of those on other projects, buy the combo that fits your need or just go for the TS29 Semi Gloss Black

Depending on how scratched the chassis is, start with 240, 400, 800 and 1200 sanding paper, or just start with a finer paper if the chassis is fine to key the chassis before paint.
If you wish you can use Tamiya Fine Surface Primer which comes in White, Light Grey and Grey.
Wash the chassis with dishsoap liquid before primer and paint.

If the chassis is good, you can also polish the chassis if paint is not needed.
