I have some old Ral Partha paints that are still useable but supplies are running chronically low

77-501 Platinum Metallic
77-702 Silver Metallic
77-722 Copper Metallic
77-901 Aged Metal - This one is a prime requirement
Neo-Soviet Brown
Union Green
Bluefang Blue

Out of all the paints it is the Aged Metal that I require as I have yet to manage to mix a close enough equivalent. The rest I have found "close enough" versions that I do not care. So if someone that knows the paint has a mix that works or even better a off the shelf modeling paint brand it would make my day.


PS I do know that Iron Wind have started remaking some of the old Ral Partha paint line but not the metallics that I am after

Might wanna give the tamiya line a try. It's alcohol based but the results are outstanding.

I will have to give it a try - I have a feeling it is going to be a long time mixing different paints to get my shade right

I am going to try a paint swab on the weekend with my scanner to give me some closer options
