MH-60 Refueling boom help

Post by MUDHEN336 » Fri Dec 10, 2010 10:04 pm

I bought a refueling boom from Pickelhaube for my MH-60 and I am trying to match the camo paint. Does anyone know if there are any store bought paints that will match the camo version for the blackhawk?

Thanks!

You can take your Pavehawk to Lowes or Home Depot to match the paint .

Check this out

Go to page 3 . I did a sample of the paint and it matched PERFECTLY !!!

Yes, the paint matching at Home Depot is a great way to go. Just use the make-up pad method (need more info on this?) and you won't need to break out your airbrush.
My pavehawk turned out beautifully with the Behr acrylic matched paint from Home Depot and the make-up pad painting method - easy and quick.
