An automotive paint store can match almost any color.  You may have to take the plane in.  I use English Color here.  They can mix and match anything.  Make sure you get something that will clear coat.  Plan "B" would be to find a spray color that is close and repaint the whole camouflage section that the patches intersect with, but that is weight -uggh.

Steve, I am the wrong one to ask about clear coat for IC.  I am 100% electric now.  My last IC was painted with Rustoleum and was not clear coated except over the decals.  The Rustoleum (this was 2017) became fuel "proof" after about two weeks gassing off. I think I read that the latest 2x Rustoleum clear is not fuel proof.  I think they have changed their formula.   There are a gazillion threads arguing which clear coat is best over which paint.  Most are using some form of 2k automotive.  Search on "Clear Coat" then pop some popcorn, sit back and read the 79 pages of postings!  Fuel proof in itself is a misnomer.  Most finishes are just highly fuel resistant.  That is why we heavily waxed them and wiped them down between flights "back in the day".

If you get the colors from an automotive paint store ask them what clear they recommend.  Tell them that your fuel contains nitro.  They will know what you mean.

Thanks wwwarbird for that feedback, and I'm thinking my P-40 just but end up a wall hangar in the end.

Hello Steve, the Goldberg P-40 is one of my favorites. You could repaint with Brodak gray underneath and olive drab on top. Use a Prevail spray unit to spray a mix with reducer and dope. Get some  paper towels and tear the edges and lay them on top of the wing for a pattern to get a feathered paint edge, painting over the old green and blending in the tan. I am sprucing up an old Sterling Hellcat and giving it some new life. Brodak dope and decals. Enjoy your project. Richard

Greathobbies here has some Brodak dope, but it seems I will need to order the colours I need as they have very limited stock. I don't have the ability to spray, so will just use a brush as the original owner of the P-40 did when he applied the original paint. I'll see what I can find re: decals to suit. Thanks

Steve,
One option for inexpensive spray is the Preval System about $6 at Home Depot (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Preval-9-oz-Complete-Spray-Gun-267/202533738?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US) or others. This is a self contained unit that has a power head and paint jar (can get additional jars) that allow you to use any paint you want and thin it as you like (dope at ~55/45 thinner/dope works good), once done toss the power head. You can get just the power head so you can keep the left over paint in the jar (they supply a top for the jar in the package) get a new power head and good to go. One thing that is very important with this system is to strain the paint. I use a small funnel with a gauze pad in it to poor the paint through into the jar. Keep the little screen end on the pickup tube also. This avoids clogs and spits. I have used this for base coats and clear, much better for me than the whole compressor/spray gun deal (I hate cleaning spray guns).

Home Depot here in Canada doesn't carry those Preval spray systems. Looks great and sure wish they had them, as I'd spray my model more often for sure. The cleanup is always a PITA and not my most favourite task. LOL

Steve,
The Preval System is available from many outlets. I googled Preval System in Canada and found Painters Place (https://www.paintersplace.ca/products/preval-spray-system). We have them in art supply stores, big box stores, paint stores should be able to find them. You can buy multi packs online if you are located away from large urban areas. Just google it and you will find lots of options Spruce Aircraft being one (https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/prevalspraygun.php), Amazon being another (https://www.amazon.com/Preval-267-Spray-Gun-6-PACK/dp/B00TOY65UC).

Best,   DennisT

Dennis - thanks for this and I found them on Amazon.ca
