Matching paint to the real world

[kissncrateParticipant @kissncrate]

Hi. I’m Chris.

I am returning to modelling after 50 + years absence by attempting to make a Range Rover kit my father bought but never made. I want to paint it in the colour of his actual car. I can buy a touch up paint for the real thing but will that work on a plastic kit and is there a cheaper/better alternative?

Plenty of places that will mix a rattle can to suit, just find the old paint name or ref number. They work fine on plastic kits as well as resin or white metal depending on what you kit is made from. Use a compatible primer.
