Hi All,
I received what I'm guessing is a pretty rare colour photo of Jeanie Deans in the period I'm modelling her on.
The photo shows her as having a Salmon pink rather than a crimson colour bellow the water line.
(I'm sorry the photo does not belong to me and i have no rights to public display :(  )

My questions are - which spraypaint  (preferably) do you guys use for Salmon pink?
The easiest way to remove enamel from grp  :'(
Many thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim,
I know the shade you mean, unfortunately I don't think its a car colour, although worth a look in halfords.
I'm having the same problem finding a faded green.
Also I have experimented with Plastikote pink, but its too pink.
Remember the guy who built the PS Glen Sannox recently? (on Mayhem I think) He has the shade you need on her underside...maybe he could help/advise
regards
Clark

Hi Clark,
Thanks for the help, I have just returned from B&Q with a tin of Japlac Satin Tea Rose which, when applied to a dark undercoat is an acceptable match.

Typical when i was looking for Crimson i struggled and now looking for Pink i can see every shade of Crimson lol
Regards,
Kim
