| Post subject: | Brown bess clone paint? USA |
Hello everyone I am new here. I am building a 3d printed working electronic pulse rifle for my brother for xmas. I am already spending a good deal to build this and was wondering does anyone have brown bess imitation paint recipes for airbrushing? It looks like a mix of olive drab and grey imo. Curious if anyone has a cocktail to make something close thats able to be duplicated? Thanks |

I was hoping a fella bugstomper in north america would see this post and share any info they have. With the cost of the electronics and filament I cant justify ordering the brown bess from uk. Is that Archive x like sold in stores there? |

There's quite a few threads on here that mention alternatives and I believe one or two people mentioned coming up with a recipe. |

I'm glad you mentioned that, first bottle of Alclad Brown Bess I bought seemed near identical to the Humbrol, but kept clogging my airbrush. I contacted them and they sent me some more, which had a different matting agent. It went through the airbrush fine, but the colour seemed different, seemed more Olive Drab??? Not sure if they sent me the correct colour. |

Not for airbrushing, but I believe it was bigbisont whom introduced the idea of spray painting alternating coats of "Earth Brown" and "Forest Green". This is what I came up with using both those colors, in Rust-Oleum. Before and after: Attachment: prpaint.jpg [ 457.57 KiB | Viewed 2845 times ] |
