      Hey everyone my first time posting here. So plz dun flame me if my qn sounds noobish thanx! I've been building models without spray painting them. Now im interested to try to spray paint them. But how do i know what colours and shades of paint to buy for a particular model? Do i just look at the box? Or do i have to open it up to look at the manual? Thanx a lot in advance!

      Ah i meant spray can. I only want to spray paint the runners to cover the nip marks. Not planning to prime or anything. So I just need to know the colour and shade of the colour of the runners.

      that will be tough.

      unless the model u are spraying is of the basic colours like red, blue, white, black etc.

      if not it will be very hard to find spray cans that 100% matches your model.

      Zomg really? I thought Mr Colour spray cans are produced to match the runners' shade of colour? But then again most runners' are quite basic like red, blue, grey. Just different shades I think. If not how would you cover your nip marks?
