What Colors 2 Mix 2 Get This Blue?
« on: January 13, 2010, 07:56:43 am »
Hi, am working on Gundam Gn-0000 1/144. This is the 1st gundam I paint with an air bursh. Am trying to to find out how do I get this shade of blue. I will be using Mr. Color paints and I see they dont have that color. So I am wondering what colors can I mix to get that shade of blue or something similar. Thank you for you time

hi friend, it will also be good if you bring along on the hobbyshop in your hometown, some hobby shop could give you more precisely mixture color what you want... but for me, its like more dark-cobalt blue... just add some few drops of black, then see it goes....  ;)
NO PAIN - NO GAIN >:)

Some advice in mixing paint (I enjoy mixing myself) find a darker blue and slowly lighten it with white paint. It is a lot easier to lighten then darken. If you wish to darken paint use gray and not black unless you want it really want it dark, gray is really easy to control...
