Hope this helps,

Hi Hanno,

I found a hobby paint supplier AK Interactive that makes the SCC2 Brown paint for modelmakers. I was just interested if anyone has experience with it and has any information how accurate it is?

Perhaps if it is correctly formulated, like Testor's paints which are derived from US Federal Standards color chips, it could be used to create a colour chip. That could then be taken to any good paint supplier and a formula developed from it. Most paint suppliers now have computer matching services.

I have an interest in this as I am beginning to think the Canadian sourced parts on my Australian Ford CMP truck were painted SCC2. This would explain some of the brownish coloured components on the truck compared to the greener KG3 painted Australian manufactured parts, which are mainly the body parts.

Just a thought anyway.

Here's a link to their website. Colours seem to be as well researched as Testor's Model Masters series.
