f3tt4l1f3 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi, all... First post, here. I have searched through all of the existing posts and found that there are many different greys used for the snout. I ended up using Rust-oleum flat grey primer, being that it is a bit darker than other primers. I want to get the color right before I glue the snout in, so my question is, does this color look like it will pass? Thanks, in advance!

Stroker Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 You want it to match you decals. Yes there's several different brands people use,however testers has proven to be the closest to the original. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I ended up using Testors Model Master Navy Aggressor Grey spray paint, which, as Stroker said, is a good match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f3tt4l1f3 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks, guys! Since the Pantone is a bit tough to obtain, I have ordered a can of the Testors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeymark34 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Should I not use the decals that come with my kit? Should I start looking for paint for my snout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kit do you have? The biggest thing is matching the decal color to the snout color. The best decals can run a little dark to a little lite so as long as they match your good.
