I have been painting firstborn marine infantry using Cotadel's gryph charger grey contrast paint. It works fine for the infantry models but I am concerned about vehicles.

I am looking to cover the vehicles in a similar color. I have been unable to find a good match in stores or online. Figured I'm missing something. Do any of you know of a good spray or acrylic color for them? Just an FYI, I don't have an airbrush right now.

I have a solution, l found that Sylvaneth Bark looks quite good.
Contast uses grey seer, gryph charger grey, Dawnstone and administraum grey as layers.
The normal paint uses mechanicus standard grey, coelia greenshade, Dawnstone and administraum grey.

If you download the citadel paint app you can see the different paint mixes


Don't use contrast on large flat panels like tanks, you'll be adding layers upon layers to hide the streaks. I do it but manage to reverse highlight my vehicles.

Thank you for the help. I didnt think to look for an app. I figured the contrasts wouldn't look too good on the vehicles flat parts.

Yeah the contrast seems to just pool in different areas leaving it patchy.
