Color Matches
Posted by willday6 on Friday, October 10, 2014 5:42 PM
Hi, I'm Will. I was wondering if there is a color-matching chart that gives FS numbers for the modern line of acrylic paints. Thanks

Welcome to the gang! I don't know of a color matching guide, but the Model Master Acryl line produces colors to those specs with the FS # as part of the description to make it easier to get the right color.

Welcome to FSM

One link that gives a good over view of paints that you choose yourself is http://www.paint4models.com/

Just be aware that some colors don't match others, no matter which site you use, because they all go by the paint companies' supplied info.

Also remember to look at all three numbers for any given color, because Paint 4 Models has them separated that way if that is what is on the paint bottles,,,,,,,so, you might find it in a semi-gloss when you were looking for a gloss or flat.

As far as "who has the best __________", I don't do that anymore, there are too many personal preferences involved in those choices. And it doesn't help you a bit if I know the "perfect" Insignia Blue in Aeromaster Acrylics if Gunze or Tamiya is your personal favorite paint type.

You're better off asking in the Paint forums, not in the introduction forums.
