latex paint Cub Yellow
Hi All
Does anyone have the correct Latex paint colour code for Cub Yellow? I would appreciate your input. I will be painting my 1/4 Balsa USA Cub covered with Sig Coverall soon. I took a piece of ultra cote covering to the paint store to match it, but it does not look right. It seems to be to bright a yellow. Cheers Proptup |

Re: latex paint Cub Yellow
Hey Clive!
Just remember that the colour will change once it is on the plane and dries!! If you bought the paint, cover a piece of balsa with the fabric and give it a coat or two. You can use your heat gun to dry it quicker. Might be a closer match than you think!! Regards, Dennis

Re: latex paint Cub Yellow
It has been said many times on Forums that color samples and paint can be computer matched at the paint store. I have found this to be not true. Sometimes close but not "Matched"
I have had better luck matching my sample to the paint chips in the racks. These paint chips are a close match to the cured paint. Ed S

Re: latex paint Cub Yellow
When I did the paint store matching for my Aeronca Champ, a guy who looked to be a 10-year-old working in the department actually knew what he was doing. After doing the scan match and mixing the paint, he opened the can, and dried some of it with a heat gun. Not happy with the match, he kept adding pigments to the can and remixing until he came about as close as I could reasonably hope for. (As close at cowlings pack with arf's, for example.) So I guess it is the luck of the draw when it comes to a trip to the paint store. Good luck, Dzl
