  • Red / Brown matt spray paint??

    Hi All!

    Im looking to find a decent matt / flat brown thats not too dark and has a red tint.

    So far ive tried out;
    Krylon brown - way too dark, not red at all
    Plastikote chocolate brown - too light, has mild red tint (good)
    Humbrol red / brown - too red, too light
    Kings Army rotbraun - closest colour match but sprays like crap

    Any other reccomendations?

    Cheers

            If you access to an airbrush then you can experiment with the paints:
            get a set of cheap acrylic paints, drop some red down, then mix a bit of white/yellow and less blue in to it in small doses, you will eventually get the desired effect by experimenting.
            other than that, humbrol do an enamel matt red number 153 that is quite dark.

              You could try Army Painter Fur Brown - it's an acrylic spray and sounds like the colour you need

              Blast it with matte lacquer afterwords for a good matte finish

                I did some more tests with the Halfords camp brown and it came up ok so running with that at the moment.

                An airbrush would be ideal but I wouldn't use it enough to justify it I think.

                Not heard of army painter will check that out, sceptical about Matt lacquer, scared it'll all go horribly wrong and ruin it! :P
                I really can't face cleaning all the paint of again!

                  Halfords have an extensive range of shades and cheaper than the "proper" stuff...
