Paint colours

[JC]

As it seems quite a few people are getting into this converting and building lark I thought it might be an idea to have a colour reference topic, maybe it will help a few of us along with getting a close match colour off the shelf for a particular brand.

If you've used a particular "off the shelf" colour to match up to a particular brand and you don't mind sharing it with others then please post it up here.

Need some help please,Back on page 1 MJB suggests plasticote smoke grey for older mf's,would that paint be like the charcoal grey colour or stoneleigh?

I'm after a close match for the stoneleigh grey on the tier3 masseys if anyone could help

the plasticote grey is a very light ferguson grey for 100 & 500 series , not a great match , but it's quick drying & cheap !

4455 genuine roof colour is smoke grey and I'm 80% sure it is for 3000 wheels.

when I painted my 5455 roofs I used plasticote grey primer then a coat of clear lacquer looked very close match

[JoshParkinson]

At work we have a green version of the Bema road sweeper that siku make, any ideas of a match for the colour? As i want to spray my orange one green like ours, i suppose it would be a bit like Merlo green or something similar? Brighter than Claas green though?

Hi I have always used genuine " Ford Tractor Blue " for my conversions but it looks too grey compared to the blue Uh and marge use on their 10 series models. Nh blue is too light. Does anybody know of a good spray  match for these models ?

certainly allows a easy eye sight match for paint, only problem is the colour i want is only a pantone ? and i have no idea where to get that stuff from ,certainly no dealers round here, and ebay is fruitless to

[catkom3]

Pantone,you've lost me there Sean,but I did find this, http://www.pantone.co.uk/pages/pantone/category.aspx?ca=1 any good,

Regards

Joe.

[convo]

come on boys did you not know that ,,,pantone ,,,RAL,,,along with BS (British standard) colours you can get these from ,,halfords,, these are set colors that if you pick a colour from any of these range they should be available to get in any make or type of paint ,even home base ,B&Q in house hold gloss or emulsion

halfords mini mix is ok ,but i would find a motor factors that do aerosols to be more accurate ,as for the link on scalemodel paint good idea but you are looking at a computer screen and every ones computer screen has different resolution so the colours displayed will be different,,paint colours should ONLY be checked from colour chips / swatches and checked inside and out side for lighting

hope this helps 

[Tractorman810]

i have heard of ral and bs , but never pantone mate [ [ mm intresting, as i may well now have found a good match for something i am doing

[jack_c]
