Color Chart for airliner colors
Posted by 7474 on Saturday, October 9, 2010 11:39 AM

I am building a 747 and was wondering if there are any color charts, or formulas to mix a specific paint shades, such as boeing gray, cathay pacific green, and the the color on Cathay's engine cowlings. I'd appreciate any info.

Voodoo grey is a good match for Boeing and Airbus greys.  I use Tamiya AS-16, and am happy with the results.  As far as a match for CX green there really isnt a out of bottle match.   Just look at multiple pictures of CX planes in varying lighting conditions and pick one you like.  Then mix some paint that looks about right to your eye.  Honestly, nobody will prove you wrong.  Maybe Xtracolor will do CX green but until then, there isnt a standard for it.  Good choice, they have a nice livery.
