A long overdue thread, anyone with paint codes of particular types of paint that best matched your airplane, please share.
When I was converting Iron Ass to Old Crow, I used
Delta Creative Ceramcoat Metallic Silver which matches the stock silver and
Sargent Art Metallic Acrylic Paint for a slight variation in color, its slightly darker and worked great for a stainless steel-like color for behind the exhaust stacks
For the antiglare shield I used Clark+Kensingtion satin enamel Paint+Primer in one Neutral tint base, color sample size, the mix on the sticker reads
B 253
C 15
KX 169
TT 236
For the P51B, I wasn't going for an exact color match, but a 'well used' look and I found these colors to be pretty good.
Clark+Kensington Premium interior satin enamel Neutral tint base, color sample size for the top, green color
AXXN 297
B 155
KX 175
MM 144
CAUTION!!!! This color is not an exact match as when the airplane piece is scanned, it reads black. I used this as a starting point and LIGHTLY coated many layers onto the plane. I also mixed some white into it and sprayed on a light layer, and another layer with a bit of yellow.
I started off by spraying along the lines of the body panels with black, This was my first effort and I went heavier with the black than I had to. No big deal, its just faster if you go a little light on the black.
The undersides are grey that I got from using Sherwin Williams ProClassic interior Acrylic Latex Extra white Satin (#6502-68600)30.7 FL OZ
again, this is not an exact match, but I used it as a starting base and mixed in varying amounts of black and white.
7664 Steely Gray
Sher-Color Formula
CCExCOLORANT OZ 32 64 128
B1-Black - 41 - -
R2 Maroon - 1 - 1
Y3-Deep Gold - 9 - -
Hope this helps out. When I touched up the P40, I did it by eyeball, using the small tubes of paint from Wally World. Next time I mix it, I'll keep track of what I used.
Hope this helps out
