I have looked at all the referred to sites BUT none have a mixing recipe......

... now at the price of a 15 cc Humbrol bottle x times 2000 bottles... I can't afford it.

Since my Cab 11 was made in May 1940, according to Goods son David Hayward... it owuld be nice to paint the sucker a nice coat of that shitty brown they used back then.

As any one tried to mix basic Red...Blue..Yellow.... what ratio???

Goes something like this ..... blue and yellow gives you green...had some red gives you some brown some yellow and it turns variuos shade of khaki..... black to darken.....

Back in the 70s when we purchased M37 we use to mix Tremclad R-B-Y and some flat black to darken....using gasoline as a thinner to flatten the paint even more....
results were mixed....and the paint had tremendous staying power on surfaces that had just been wash down with gasoline.....

Maybe one of these cold evening I will try out my luck with small containers of Tremclad in the dark corner of the basement....... just need a bunch of small eyedropper to count the drops...

What about you Chris....any paint mix experiences....?? Don any experience from the CWM???
