Closest match for GWS Zero green paint?


I bought a scratched and dinged Zero cheap on ebay, and would like to touch it up, what is the closest match? I live near a couple of large Arts/Crafts stores in addition to 2 nice hobby shops, but my color matching stinks! Help, anyone?

Delta Ceramcote is a craft item and is an acrylic water based paint that comes in a wide range of colors.The darker green color should be close. At $.77 for the small size you can afford to experiment.It dries flat.A follow on thin coat of Minwax clear acrylic will make it glossy. A fine brush does a good job.You may wish to check to see if the aileron linkage is secure within the ailerons.HTH.

If you use the Ceramacote artists acrylic paints, add some Black to the Forrest Green to get the darker colour green. Do not bother touching up just put a thin coat overall and then exact matching of the colour does not matter. The artists acrylic paints are very light. Mix your black and green in a small jar as its easir to match the coulour if you mix a larger batch. Keep the left over for repairs and touch ups.
