Heliwilly 44 Posted February 13, 2021 Hi, I am about to start building a Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin and was horrified to find that I needed about 15 TS aerosols @ approx £10 each. As I am not a serial modeller, most of the aerosols would be wasted. Does anyone know if there are any X orXF colours that equate to the TS aerosol colours that I need, or indeed any other paint producers, ie Humbrol that do similar colours. Many thanks BillW.

Problemchild 2149 Posted February 13, 2021 I use Tamiya paint for box art, core RC for off the wall colours and humbrol acrylic droppers or enamel tins can be had for as cheap as £1 a tin eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich_f 232 Posted February 13, 2021 Just had a quick search and came across this this page, from which you can download a very long pdf conversion table of lots of paint manufacturers, and includes tamiya TS sprays, which many other conversion charts do not.

The LP paints are the same type as the TS paints but in a pot. They don't have all the TS colours in LP though. You can also work out some matches in the X or XF range as well by using Tamiya's paint matching tables: https://fiveeight0sixsix.wordpress.com/2020/11/08/tamiya-lacquer-paint-matching-tables/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heliwilly 44 Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks all for the paint info. Got most of the colours or alternatives from various internet sellers, based on price. Thanks once again. Bill W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
