Pierre, that's the beauty of brush painting because of the use of dropper bottles and the use of the palate you can get a color very close to what is represented in pictures of the actual car. You just have to hope that the picture you use is accurate and, in this case, I believe you found a very good picture of the car that you built.

Hi Mark, I agree that mixing the paint allows possibilities but with some colors a bit of a trade off is required to allow a successful brush painted finish. For example some yellow hues are so pure that some mixing must be done to achieve improved hiding while paying a price for color accuracy.

So true. But it's still better than trying to find a rattle can to match the color you need. that's almost impossible.
