Whew… I don't know what else to say. Of course it's not going to match from the actual paint to the damn computer screen. It never does. Neither it does in your instruction guide. That's why there's an paint number assignment that is from Gunze/Mr. Hobby (or other paint brand) Sometimes there's a Federal Standard number with it (ie: FS34087).


Slow down. Research what you need and decide if that's what you really need before making that purchase. I always do even though I have a big variety of paint brands (enamels, acrylics and lacquer) from Testors Model Master and Testors small square bottles to PollyScale, PollyScale Railroad Colors, Gunze/Mr. Hobby, AK Interactive Real Colors, Mission Models, and Tamiya (acrylics and lacquer).


Learn from your mistakes, experiment with what paint shade looks good to your satisfaction and learn what paint brand works, what doesn't with different types of thinners.


Understand the difference. Don't worry about the chemistry - it's all irrelevant in my opinion. Besides nobody cares. We all want to build and paint without giving a damn and worrying about the chemistry properties and ingredients of thinners and paint. Yeah… I'm talking to you uromama. LOL!


Read what brand of paint is compatible to which thinners. If unsure, take the dummy proof route and buy the same brand thinner as your paint brand. It'll save you the aggravation of being confused. This is how you learn by trial and error. I've always believed in the K.I.S.S. method in this hobby.


I will speak for everybody and myself, we've all been in this hobby for a long time and have learned a few things along the way. Don't get discouraged and frustrated.
