Subaru blue

anyone have a mix using tamiya acrylics for this car as i would really like to airbrush it.

Why not avoid trying to mix the exact shade and spray some of the contents of the Tamiya spray bomb into a small bottle first?

Shake the can as normal until you're sure it's thoroughly mixed, then put a drinking straw over the nozzle of the can and spray it directly into a small container, a little at a time.

Be Sure to leave the contents to settle for a short while before you pour into the airbrush or dip your eyedropper into it though, as it tends to be a bit "Volatile" until the gasses have dispersed...

Don't put a lid on the container until you're absolutely sure they've gone - you may not like the surprise you get the next time you remove the lid.

When I do this, I ususally drop a small glass bead (taken from an expired spray bomb) into the container so that I can mix it again before use, at a later date.

thanks i will keep that in mind although one of the reasons i want to mix it is i dont like using the spray paint (toxic) and also to keep costs down.
I have tried to mix the shade once but got it wrong, just thought someone might have done it already thangs again Bob.
