Hi all,
I’m after a paint match for the British Deep Bronze Green on their 1960’s Armour.
Acrylic or enamel paint.
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Gibbo

Try Revell Enamel 65; but it'll need a gloss varnish.
This seems to do the trick for me.

Best match for me had been Xtracolour (Enamel X814, Acrylic XA1814).
Should be a source in Oz.

What he said

I have official paint chip for DBG and the "glossed" Revell paint is the closest match. All the other paints I tried, that claimed to be DBG, were way off.
