On a small project I'm working on I'm after a particular colour green to allow me to tie all small details together.
Does anyone know who or where can mix me a small pot of acrylic paint that I can then airbrush and hand brush my details???
I can either get them to scan a piece of the exact green or contact the company direct to see if they can give me the exact paint code.
I dont think B&Q wall emulsion will be good enough , and halfords will only mix 400ml spray can but that's no good for the detail bits :no:

Thinking laterally, if you can get the right colour mixed from Halfords, couldn't you spray some from the can into a mixing pot, thin as required and apply it using your airbrush or hand brush?
:hmmm: I guess so.
I've never tried spraying that much out of a rattle can to know I could do that.
I'll email the company and try to get the paint code.

I'm not sure that'd work satisfactorily. Prepared to be wrong, but I can imagine having a very messy mixing cup!
A long shot, but is there a green maybe in the Hycote range of acrylic rattle cans that matches the green you require? Much cheaper than Halfords, I get mine in Trago Mills. Are you in Devon exmouthcraig?
Hycote do an extensive range of car colours some of which are very near matches for railway colours. I use their Vauxhall burgundy red for my LMS coaches.
Trago Mills ;D we struggle to pass it every time were in Falmouth as theyve ALWAYS got a carpet delivery and 800 people desperate to get inside even though the path is only 1m wide!!!
I've found a set of acrylic paints under the desk that are probably only a couple of years old bought from The Works most still have the foil seal on the ends of the tubes so I'm going to have a play with mixing a couple of them to see if I can find a suitable match, I doubt it will be exact but it will be near enough.
Not devon anymore @trkilliman (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2838) I'm in Melton Mowbray now, my folks have a place in Exmouth :thumbsup:
Trago Mills Newton Abbot it is then exmouthcraig. Now that store is HUGE.
