Hi just lurking about eBay and stumbled across Some Brown Bess paint item no:- 152394670295 and was wondering if anyone had tried it?
Thanks

I've not seen that before, thanks for posting.

I just bought a bottle and will add it to the comparison list here, and I'll also compare it to some original items as before.

Intriguing. Looking forward to the verdict.

Sorry, no. I have the paint but haven't had time to do anything with it because of work. The wait for a comparison with items painted with the original paint will be longer still as the collection is in storage.

I work at a University and vacation starts on the 27th March until the 24th April so I expect I'll have time then do get this done.

Ad first glance it loos a tiny bit too dark, but I need to compare it with a BB painted locator tube to be sure.
At least promissing compared to other "alternatives".

Brush one layer of the paint direct to Alu.
If you would use an Airbrush and 2-3 layers you would getter better results.
In the pictures it looks to greenish and to bright, but that is mostly due to ligtning and that its
just one layer brushed on.

Looks great to me mate and it looks more like the BB on the HCG shrouds.

This is the first coat of that paint on my kango, how does everyone think it looks? I've got nothing Brown Bess to compare it to, my hcg pulse rifle is od green and I can't see any Brown Bess on my t.e armour.

If you compare this with the locator tube I posted above as I wrote it looks a bit to bright.
Just a little bit of weathering and you are good.

Yes i think it may be a tad bright, that was outside, wet with a flash, this is inside dry no flash

Well, your indoor photo looks like olive drab, so I'd say you're bang on. What a strange color BB is.

Is that painted with a brush or airbrushed jw1235? I'm interested in getting some but I don't have an airbrush!

That's with a airbrush, I dug mine out just for this project, I've never really used it before but will be using it more often now, you get an extremely good finish with them!

I know it's a real nightmare! I'm going to try abit of weathering and see how it looks

Well the misting in black should certainly improve the look no?

Indeed.

I just went to buy some of this stuff, and the guy won't ship to the USA

Looks like a pretty great match, though!

Here is a comparison of the paint next to a OD hcg pulse rifle, quite the difference, not sure if I'm happy with that tho haha may need to change the colour of the shrouds

looks good. very close match
