Default Skymaster Paint Problems

I have the Thunderbird paint scheme on my F 16 and need to do some paint repair on the nose. All three colors. Question, what have you used, or where have you got paint that matches the factory blue, white, and red paint.

Thanks for your help.

I went to my local PPG dealer and they were able to match it and only mix me up 4 oz. I only did the blue.

Radiosouth R/C.com
send them a stab and they will match all 3 colors in 4 oz bottles or more. They have high end PPG high gloss single stage paint, perfect for repairs without worrying abot clear coat.

Yes this is a problem! I have a brand new SM Viperjet ARF Plus with the Ali green color design. I have a little chip to fix on the canopy as it was damage on the shipping box. Apparently they have a new and old green.
I got both of them from SM and they don't match to my green [>:]. They absoluelty do a great job on the paint work (top notch) but I don't think they keep a track of the color formulation.... it is a shame.

I am still trying to match the green [>:]

Gonzalo,

I am sure he will be able to tell you the colour code,
