zinc chromate in spray cans?

	i'm hoping for some zinc chromate in spray can form, really looking for the green instead of the yellow tone for a project. does anyone know if either Testors/Model Master or Tamiya offer this color in spray can form? i have the Model Master bottled enamel, but i don't want to spray that through my airbrush. i don't mind spraying acrylics, but right now no enamels or lacquers with that.

Re: zinc chromate in spray cans?

	Off the top of my head, the closest Model Master spray to Interior Green would probably be Medium Green, which was used in some aircraft interiors. However the easiest thing to do would be to just airbrush the paint and just make sure the airbrush is super clean before and after you run the enamel through it.

	As an alternative to a spray can colour, you might look at Vallejo Air 71094 Green Zinc Chromate. This is a ready-to-airbrush acrylic. I don't have this colour, so I can't comment about the shade - just offering a possible alternative.

Re: zinc chromate in spray cans?

	I haven't seen a zinc chromate in a spray can since Pactra? offered it. Back in the days when Monogram was first releasing their large 1:48 scale bombers...B-17, B-24 and B-29.
