What paint do I use? (1 Viewer)

[mr colt 45]

I have posted this question else were on the forum. I have a Del Prado figure. I opened the clamshell package and put him out on the shelf and noticed that on the tip of his nose is missing the paint. What brand of paint do I use and what would the color code be? The figure is Presdent Jeff Davis of the CSA of the ACW. Also were would I get the paint? There is only Hobby Town USA were I live. Thank You, Mr Colt 45.

go to your local Walmart or Hobby shop...buy an acrylic "flesh tone" paint...Folk Art paint is fine...it will probably not be a perfect match...blend lighter and darker colors to get as close as you can...just a drop of each will suffice for the mixing...apply the least amount of paint that you can to do the job...

you could contact Del Prado...but I doubt they can give you an exact match...

again...apply as little paint as possible to get the job done...don't repaint anything more than is absolutely necessary...

If you can find Vallejo paints try light brown and any form of red. I like Amaranth for this purpose. You will have to mix. I would not waste your time with D P as they do not make the figures.{sm4}

Turning to a different subject, what paint (or technique) would I use to simulate a mirror?
