Painting the M. Falcon base coat... How to make Grime?

Post by jemhadar »

I know you can order Floquil Grime but I want to do a mix ratio of

1:1 reefer white and grime mixed

Reefer white is water based, how to make the color grime using water based paints?

This mix will go through my airbrush.

I don't know if this answers your question, but reefer white doesn't come in acrylic form anymore from what I understand but it does come in enamel form. just buy both paints in enamels and mix them.

Floquil, Testors and Poly Scale (railroad) do Reefer White in acrylic.
