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.

If you can find the Pantone code your laughing, I believe there are only 360 odd RAL codes, But there are over 1300 Pantone codes, I only discovered this a few days ago when looking everywhere for a particular shade of yellow, When I keyed in the vehicle name and it searched it came up with the exact colour, and several similar colour shades, one of the exact one was made by Humbrol.

Cheers bud I'll get myself a tin. Had a number 31 but was just a bit too light, Only need it to tidy up edges and paint over decals 👌

the revel one will touch it in no problem, have a tin as well for the same jobs, but use the aerosols for new stuff like cabs or bonnet conversions.

It worked perfect, great colour match!
