Hi all I've tired to find a conversion table between Tamiya AS spray cans and other paints without success. Has anybody any clue on where to find them?
Any help is much appreciated...
Ciao

Tried looking for it myself but ended up resorting to mixing acrylic paints and pushing it through an airbrush. You might find the results alot better too.

Which ones in particular?
The AS Range is mostly common camouflage colours and Tamiya usually use the correct names so a little searching can work out the FS number or equivalent in other standards.

Hi Fabio
Could you be a bit more specific about which colours you're looking for? We might be able to help. The IPMS Stockholm colour charts are useful (but not perfect)
Colour Charts
Sometimes putting the FS number into a search engine will help you find the name of the colour. Or you can page through this list of Xtracolour paints and look for FS numbers there
