Hi

Does anyone have any experience mixing MRP paints together to get required colour? Any hints and tips?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Dave
I have never mixed their paints, I have not had so because the range is very extensive.
What colour are you in need of/

Just starting at airbrushing and trying to find best and easiest make to use. Of course trying to compare Humbrol to MRP paints is tricky so guessing there must be a colour I might need to make.

What do you build?

You may find an extensive range of colours for your models with no need to mix.
Their website has a great sort that helps find the right colours.

Building all different things, planes boats, cars and bikes. Hence need to find a paint that covers most things.

OK great. Take a look at the link and the sort menu and I think you will find a lot of that covered and where it is not a suitable colour is likely to be found. It is very wide ranging.

Thanks. Will take a good look. Got Tamiya, Mr Color and MRP Paint to try so will see how things go.

I don’t, but:—

Any hints and tips?

My tip would be to just try it. Mix small amounts on a palette to see if it works, how the paint responds, etc. and if it doesn’t do totally unexpected things, give it a go in your airbrush.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Think I have discovered that not all colours have the same name, for instance WW1 green which I couldn't find on the MRP website but have found on another site. Think I will hopefully find what I need be looking in various places.
However if anyone know the code for flat gunmetal would be obliged.
