Milspec Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I know how to color fill and I know what options are available. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what color/brand is the closest match. I want to re color fill the red circle on the cartridge drop/shell release lever. I'm not sure what shade of Testors, Lacquer Pen or Nail Polish would be the closest. Obviously red but....just wondering if anyone has any experience matching this up.

StreetSweeper56 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Wow... no offense but that's super anal retentive, lol, for something like that I just find a shade of lacquer nail polish and call it good. It doesn't have to be an EXACT match, but that's just me; no one would ever know anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought perhaps somebody may have done the same to this specific part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start with more grey, then work darker and darker. Don’t go too dark at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
