All,
Got most of my Korean War RN Bearcat put together (should get some pics up this weekend) but have run into a dead end.
I have not used my airbrush in a coons age having gone to mostly rattle cans but I can't find the RN colors (Extra Dark Sea Gray, Sky) in cans.  Model Masters, Tamiya, nothing.  Does anyone know if you can get these colors in rattle cans or am I going to have to break down and make sure I cleaned the airbrush before I put it away last time?

Hmmm.

22 looks and no ideas.  Kind of what I was thinking.

How about other colors that might be close?
Found a Sage color yesterday that might work for Sky but looks too dark and probably too green.

You tried the paint section at the local hardware/craft/ wal-mart/automotive store?
They have all kinds of colours.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

the car colour Rover Tempest Grey is a good match for EDSG/DSG, Halfords auromotive shops here in the UK do it, dunno if you have anywhere similar locally that do Rover car colours?

Does your LHS carry Humbrol spraycans?

Your local Eagle Hardware should have a close match in a spraybomb.
If not, you can try the automotive section at Canadian Tire-----whoops, you're in Utah.

If this were me, I'd say the fate of your former airbrush would be a sufficient excuse to go buy a new airbrush  ;)    Of all mfgs, Coleman makes a very inexpensive Iwata knock-off that works very well...
