PerryL Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have never been one to custom mix my own paint and want to paint my RG copy a Brilliant Blue Lacquer. I wondered if anyone on the forum here has any tips for finding A Custom Color Lacquer in a spray can? I went to most of the paint departments in Auto Supply stores and haven't been able to find anything that comes close. If you wanna see what color I'm Going for It's on My Photoblog. Also, I've seen a close color in the Createx Airbrush colors as Ultramarine Blue but It's acrylic and don't know if I can mix that with Clear Lacquer and spray it thru my Airbrush. Thanx in advance Folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I did a Google search (custom colors + spray cans) and a few sites came up. Give it a try and see if it helps you. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thanx www, I did that as well, and came up with auto color paints but I don't even have any idea what color this would have been used on Auto wise. I did see this place called Tower Paint and Decorateing that will fill spray cans which might be the only chance BUT they charge 14.95 to color match. The only down side.

www Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Look for an auto with the color you like and go to one that cars dealership and find out what the name of the color and what the code is and then contact some of the places from the Google search . Just another suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryL Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) I love this place. Thanx guys for the input. Quik favor Duff, On my photoblog there's the color I'm going for. Was your Electric blue like that? That Ultramarine blue is an Acrylic color and won't work with lacquer.
