What colors should I mix to make a grease color? Now this is an oil grease. For the road wheels on my M1A1.

My dad has some axle grease left over, from when he served(72-80). It is a blue green.

Thanks. I'll try mixing my own cocktail of paints to see what I come up with.

grease should have a gloss finish unless it's loaded with dirt and dust .
