Title: Paint
Post by: Luke Piewalker on December 31, 2013, 06:53:55 PM
Ahoy chaps.

I am going to acquire some paints for a future project in a BR Blue/Grey style.

I'm looking through the Humbrol acrylic rail paints and the Blue and the Yellow seem pretty straightforward but does anyone know which shade of grey would be the one for coach window bands?

I'm a brush painter, am wedded to acrylics, and have experience of Humbrol acrylics previously.

Looking at the Humbrol website they dont do a grey for blue/grey rolling stock.

So it's not just me... I was looking at the different shades of grey and none of them looked quite 'right'...
I have an alternative plan... or I could just buy some not-humbrol paint...  :-\
