Ice Green

Ice Green: the silver-green of the 1970s 911

Ice Green Metallic (Porsche Silbergrün Diamant, paint code 250 from 1974 and 266 from 1976) is one of the classic metallics of the impact-bumper era, worn by the 911, Carrera and the first 930 Turbo in the mid-1970s. It is a pale, cool silver-green with a heavy silver flake and a soft pinkish pearl glow: almost minty silver on the faces, a deeper grey-green in the flop. Matched to the Porsche Silbergrün Diamant formula, it is the colour for 1974–1977 911, Carrera and 930 Turbo builds in 1:24, 1:18 and 1:12, and for any Porsche of the period that left the factory in this green.

The problem with metallics

Metallics are unforgiving. Spray too wet and the flake settles unevenly into dark patches and stripes; spray too dry and the surface goes grainy. Keep the airbrush moving at a constant distance and use slightly drier, well-atomised passes for an even flake across the whole body.

How to apply

1. Shake the bottle for at least 60 seconds.
2. Prime with a grey primer and let it dry fully.
3. Airbrush straight from the bottle, no thinning needed. Use a 0.2–0.4 mm nozzle at around 20 PSI (1.4 bar) and apply light, cross-hatched coats, letting each one flash off before the next.
4. Keep the airbrush moving at a constant distance for an even effect.
5. Let the paint cure overnight before masking or clear-coating.
6. Seal with a water-based clear coat: gloss for a factory shine, or satin or matte for work vehicles and interiors.
7. Clean the airbrush with water before the paint dries.

Why modelers choose Koloi Aqua

• Ready to spray: no guessing thinning ratios, the same result from every bottle
• Cleans up with water, so there are no strong solvent fumes at the bench
• Fine pigment grind for 1:8 to 1:72 scales, so panel lines and detail stay crisp
• One system: primer, colour and clear designed to work together

Shelf life

Estimated shelf life of more than 12 months when stored tightly closed between +10 °C and +28 °C, away from frost and direct sunlight. Shake well before use; if the paint has thickened or separated and does not remix, do not use it.
