Re: Masami GREEN????
Ok guys, for anyone interested here is an update..... a raw, not well thought out update, but an update nonetheless.
After a few magic soda's last night I saw three bottles of Faskolor sitting on my kitchen table and my Masami YZ10 in the background.... as this was enough motivation to make a move I ripped out my girls soy-sauce dishes and starting mixing paint. I basically mixed Parma Fasgreen #40005 and Faspearl Silver #40050 together and stirred it with a toothpic then smeared it on a piece of papertowel. Check out the pic.... not too bad of a match.
I didn't mix the paint well at all and I think the ratio was about 50-50. I'll do it with stronger data and post results soon but my plans are to use a little less silver and mix much much better for the next testing.

Re: Masami GREEN????
you should definitely put some sample on a non-porous surface, like a piece of scrap lexan or something.
I'd go with less pearl, and maybe a touch of black in there to take some of the brightness out. Unfortunately, we can't give much accurate advice because pics and computer displays always ruin the true color.

Re: Masami GREEN????
Excellent, all good tips. Remember, I was drunk and mixing paint with a toothpic but I like all of your ideas and I will try them on the next test. I will also use accurate measurements so I know what the exact ratio is. I'll post more pics once I get closer to hear everyone's thoughts.
BTW, correct me if I'm wrong but display settings shouldn't make a difference because we're only comparing the color to the bulkhead cap in the same image so any color distortions should show up in both. But then again I can see that it may be difficult to know what colors to add if the display is off.

Empty clear plastic 2-litre pop bottles cut in half are great for spray-testing colors.jwscab wrote:you should definitely put some sample on a non-porous surface, like a piece of scrap lexan or something.

Re: Masami GREEN????
I've just stumbled upon this post via a Google search.
So has anyone compared the Parma Fasgreen #40005 and Faspearl Silver #40050 mix vs. Faspearl green? What's the best paint to match vintage Masami green?

Re: Masami GREEN????
Okay, thanks Peakey.
On the website, they list racing green, lime, neon, metallic, and spearmint. I think metallic looks the closest -- although it looks a little brighter but maybe it's due to different lighting. I reckon I'll order a can and try it out. thanks again....
