Candy Blue....

My H1A has two little paint chips I want to touch up. But before I throw myself at the mercy of RS paints, does any one have a little bit of the Candy Blue that they know is a good match I could Buy/Borrow/Steal.

Thanks in advance.

Not a chance of getting that right with a touch up!
Just revel in the patina of use that a stone chip gives :P

Sure I have read it on here somewhere, try your local ladies nail bar; they have loads of shades of blue and you may find one that is close en Thumbs Up ough to do the job for not much money. You could even get a little bottle of clear varnish to give it that extra shine.

Its a 4 layer process so you are never gonna get it spot on BUT nail varnish comes in metallic and its gotta be better than bare metal. I did have some left over from a previous paint job but binned it when we moved :roll:

I had a "touchup" but it was more than a chip. It was a NOS tank though so I didn't want a complete repaint

They fixed it though....but it wasn't cheap.

The fingernail polish is a lot cheaper and you can usually find a color that's pretty darn close, especially at a store that caters to younger teenagers....of course you will appear to be a creep so maybe wait until the little girls have left!

LOL
