Paint code cross reference?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 2, 2003 9:24 AM
Could anyone recommend a good source on the web to cross reference paint color codes for the various manufacturers?

It would be really handy to be able to quickly find a Model Master color to substitute for Humbrol or Tamiya (which are not readily avaiable in my area). Sometimes you have to make due with what is at hand.

There is a great cross reference chart on the Humbrol colour card/sample card or whatever you call it. It list's Testor's, Tamiya, F.S. Gunze, Revell, etc.
You could try writing to Humbrol for one; Marfleet, Hull, HU 9 5NE, England is the address, or maybe a fax to (UK) 01482 712908. As far as I know they don't have a web site, which is a shame, I can't find one for Airfix either, & they are the same company.
Cheers

You could try: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org on the page look for helpdesk and then color charts.

I did find a website, www.airfix.co.uk. But there isn't a paint comparison chart.
