Does anyone have a link to a paint guide?

I'm getting ready to build my pod after all these months and was wondering if there is a part-by-part paint guide out there? With so many small parts, I hate to make a "best guess". Google searches produce zilch.

Also, what's the word about the floor color? I also purchased the TSDS decal set and orange vinyl sheets for the exterior AND the photoetch detail set. I'm not sure it I can use them both together. Any pointers would be a huge help. Perhaps they are archived threads on this? I haven't found them yet. Thanks,
KDARACAL

you can use the exterior vinyl together with the etch, but not the decals and etch.

as for colors? the exterior is "Irwin Orange" and aluminum.
the inside is mostly beige. the beams are a magnesium color, but you can use silver if you only have a basic color pallette to work from. the instrument panels are a metallic color as well with whatever colors you want to make the lights. the instructions are very good at calling out the colors

I found the build-along thread on CultTVman's forum by Brent Gair extremely helpful for painting: http://www.culttvman.biz/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7303210&st=0&sk=t&sd=a. I would also recommend watching some of the episodes on Hulu that feature the pod, and doing some screen grabs. Good luck; it's a fun kit to make.
