Color match for Green Zinc Chromate

Agreed;  yellow + black will basically give you increasingly olive coloration.  Just add white if too dark.  Also, if you don't want to mix, you can use some other types of acrylic paints out there. 

Thanks Piperjoe, I'll spray a test of that and see how it looks!

Although they are both zinc primers, "interior green" and "green zinc chromate" aren't really interchangable colors.  While what is commonly referred to as interior green leans toward the olive side, green zinc chromate is closer to the color of guacamole.  Both of these colors are available in the MM line of paints.  I don't know too much about sci-fi subjects but IIRC, interior green may be what you are looking for.

MisterKit acrylics have both green and yellow zinc chromate in acrylic.

Killjoy,

I'll put this out there, BUT with a caveat that i could be way off mark - if so, i hope somebody with better knowledge will step in...

Gunze Sangyo make a colour called Interior Green.  I'm fairly certain that it's a close match to Green Zinc Chromate.  I can't remember the no. code, I think it's H50something...

I've seen instructions which call for Green Zinc Chromate, then give the equivalent Gunze Sangyo colour as Interior Green.

However, I can't be 100% and hopefully somebody out there will help, but i thought i'd just let you know.  I know Gunze are hard to get in the US now, but if you find some, might be worth checking out.

Unfortunately, i'm not familiar enough with Tamiya to assist on that front.
