discussion Paint Colour Conversion ?

[takeslousyphotos]

I've been scouring the internet and I can't find anywhere a spreadsheet that'll allow me to convert paint codes from "AQUEOUS" & "MR COLOUR" to VALLEJO Model Air / Model Colour......... A spreadsheet is favourite for this as you can manipulate the columns........and I have 20 or so I need to check.


I'm about to kick off a kit and all the paint codes are stupid.


I found a few PDF's which don't seem to be much help.


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ian. I checked that out. It doesn't look too complete or maybe I'm reading it all wrong ???? ...... The "Humbrol" that Peter gave me looks like it'll do the job.

Something you might usefully do - I have obtained some stiff white card, and am making up my own colour charts of all my paints, kept in a ring binder


Easy enough when you're actually using the paint on a model, but for those less frequently used I stir up one or two colours as I have a spare moment


Yes, there are numbers and codes, but it's nice to see what the colour will look like based on a decent sized patch; mine are about 2cm X 10cm

There is an app for the I-phone which is quite good (iModelKit), there is a free version and an ad-free version. Seems reasonable for most brands.

Take you list of paints into SNMstuff in Cove and they can usually help.
