Candy Garnet Brown

<< < (2/3) > >>

Seabeowner:
Decided on a close candy match (or maybe not) to the brown.
But haven't yet got the paint for the black sides.
Any suggestions appreciated for quality black aerosols for this?
Will use the SprayMax lacquer on top.

Honda NH1 is the black.

I presume you mean 500mL un-thinned as it normally comes from a apint supplier,(thins 50/50%) ... If so yes plenty enough.

There are many ways to paint candy garnet brown.
I once saw a trick with a metallic brown base and a candy gold top layer. It worked quite well although it was a bit to brown in my eyes.
Easiest is a green metallic base with a candy orange top.

I use sikkens paint for the base paint and a German company for my candies.

And yes - always do a layer of clear before starting lines and black.

Will get some of this. Bought a can of 1k lacquer to experiment with. Trying to find how much of the black finish is down to the basecoat or the lacquer finish.
Looking at the black on one of Menno's tanks, I can't hope to replicate that!
