Paint Conversion Chart

Now that I can churn out as many Corvette bodies as I want, I have been doing much more painting and decal work.

I just found this cool little tool to find just the right color of nearly any brand of model paint.

paint4models.com

Scroll way down to find the links. The online converter app is a touch buggy: it brings back duplicates and doesn't always refresh. But for the price, free, it is pretty neat. This looks like it could be a huge help in finding the approximate RGB colors for decal borders and such. I will be using it for my next re-paint and decal.

There is also a link to PDF. Looks like the same data. The downside to the PDF is the 224 odd pages.

If I could only find an on-line application that converts the smell of lacquer spray in the house into let's say - cookies, I'd be all set.
