Which Paint?

[The Baron]

Finding the perfect match paint can be a right pain. These are the best matches found so far:

Red - Plastikote Spray Bright Red
Green - Humbrol Enamel Satin 131
Black - Plastikote Spray Black
Yellow - Plastikote Spray Buttercup Yellow
Blue - Plastikote Spray Harbour Blue
Yellow - Humbrol Spray Yellow
Orange - Games Workshop Fiery Orange
Blue - Games Workshop Ultra Marines Blue.
Gray - Humbrol Enamel Satin 166

Still hunting for a decent SAS Gray and Red Shadow Gray.

Humbrol Enamel does NOT mix with Plastikote undercoat or lacquer!!

I used Games Workshop's Blood Red and Chaos Black on my customs.

Yeah Chaos black in a spray can for around the £6 mark.
Hours of fun and goes a loooong way to

[Red Laser]

I used the normal pot of Chaos Black I found the sprays always missed big areas.

[The Baron]

Scooby, what was that Space Force orange you had? In fact, the blue and gray were perfect too IIRC.

[scoobydie]

It was Games Workshop Fiery Orange and Ultra Marines Blue.
The grey was Humbrol super enamel satin 166 with a little shine like the figures.

Is the Plastikote red spot on for red shadows? Or does it need a bit of mixing?

[The Baron]

It's spot on. Check out my and Jimbo's Red Shadow customs for examples.

Cheers Baron, I'll have to get some. Do you spray on or brush on?
