Silver A4 paint colour

[w4rrn]

Hi

Please could somebody advise the the Phoenix Precision Paint colour for the silver A4's as it a pair of cab doors I need to paint.

I assumed it'd be P54 Silver grey but thats for the valances as it's darker.

See attached pic

Thanks in advance

Precision shade is much darker than the Hornby version . I can only suggest  make up a the matching colour yourself.

Thanks for the reply, yes it's looking that way as the spot on the top of the tin is really dark

I have also read that Humbrol 196 is pretty close and looking at swatches on various websites I reckon it'd  be a good starting point

Hi,

Take the excellent advice from Mick and mix your own colour to match.

Never, ever take any notice of colour switches on websites as its totally impossible to get coloured light (computer screen) to accurately match solid paint colour - websites can only ever show an approximation.
