    Hello all,

    I really wanted to get a KO of the MP Prime with added paint apps that was the standard sized version and not the OS version.

    I was unable to get one and decided to give it a shot at adding a few paint apps.

    Would anyone happen to know what paint colors (including brand) I should get that would match Takara's version of MP 10? I especially need to know what is the dark blue used.

    I bought a Tamiya Royal Blue color, but it seems to be a bit too dark.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I worked in the paint industry for years. Even if someone happens to know the colour and brand of paint used, you will find the colour varies by the type of paint. I suspect they used a 2-part epoxy paint, the smallest quantity of which comes in a 2-gallon kit (1 gal base and 1 gal converter) and costs well over $100.00. You'll likely have to settle for close enough.
