Boeing grey paint substitute

[richard hutchinson]

Hi Guys

Found some paint that is soooo close to Boeing grey that I thought I should share it with you.

It is made in the UK by Crown and the paint colour is Herringbone. (sorry overseas guys - you might be able to get it, but not sure).

It is so close to the colour of my MIP that you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Easy to get when you need to touch bits up as it blends really well.

Brushes wash out in water too!

here's another one as well, again from B&Q in the UK, but as it's made in the EU
you may just find it in your local DIY superstore

Hi Guys,

Found this one in a local store in Denmark.. grabbed 2 of them.
Correct me if i am wrong but isnt the Boeing color RAL7011?..

Anyway that is the color i am going for since i already bought 3mm PVC plates in the same color code.

Good find,
yes RAL7011, NOT 2011 as i put earlier,sorry.

In many paint stores in the US, you can have paint mixed to match a specific color sample. Of course this lmits you to mostly water based paints as oi based is going away in the US. There are also a number of ways to spray water based paint to get the gloss of spray paint.
