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.

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.

I don’t, but:—

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.
