Cinza Boeing

Pessoal, existe alguma tinta automotiva que se aproxime do tom Cinza Boeing???? Cada vez que preciso fazer essa cor, misturando branco e preto, sempre dá diferença na tonalidade, e isso já tá me deixando p.... da vida.
Se alguém puder ajudar agradeço.

Abraço a todos,

Junior

Não me lembro onde ouvi certa vez sobre uma tal de BAC grey... mas não sei ao certo.

Achei um blog com referências:

"Lots of airliner model instructions (Hasegawa, Minicraft, Revell) call out “(Light) Gull Gray” or “FS 36440″ for the light gray frequently found on wings and horizontal stabilizers, on the wing/fuselage fairing, jet engine fan cowlings, and other composite (fiberglass or carbon fiber) pieces. I find *6440 too dense and too warm. Boeing do offer more than a dozen colors for gray and another more than a dozen for white, to their customers, but there is a definate, ‘typical’, gray that’s about the same tonal value as bare aluminum that Boeing, McDonnel Douglas, Lockheed, Airbus, etc all use or used, by default. At Boeing it’s called “Boeing Aircraft Company Gray” and has the stock number “707″. Sometimes this is rendered “BAC 707 Gray” but it’s not “707″ gray- the number is coincidence. Or so I’m told. “BAC 706″ is some other common color, and so is “BAC 708″. (ought to do a web search and see…)

Xtracolor make pre-mixed, oil based, BAC 707 Gray for model builders, which is a spot-on match. Boeing seem to have slightly changed the color in the last decade or so, and so Xtracolor offer now two different versions. (Add Xtracolor part numbers and Hannant’s web address…) Hannant’s in the UK own Xtracolor, and stock the paint. Airline Hobby Supply carry it in the USA, and perhaps others do too. (more web addresses) There are said to be Xtra Acrylics available as well but I know little about them. (ought to look!)

I recently decided to try mixing something similar using the widely available Testor’s Acryl, and found 3 parts FS (f) 36495 Light Gray (Testors 1/2 oz. #4765) and 4 parts Flat White (f) FS37875 (Testors 1/2 oz. #4769) were pretty good. Its far, far, lighter than FS 36440 or Light Gull Gray, but its a pretty good match to what you see on the wings of DC-9s, 737s, A-320s, etc. Your milage may vary, of course. I’ve used the 3:4 mix of FS 36495 and white for models of Boeing 777-200s, an MD-82 and an Airbus A340 and I find it quite convincing. Its a pretty good match for Xtracolor’s BAC 707 too, which is re-assuring. You have to gloss it up to taste with Future floor wax or the gloss of your choice after it dries, but this is my prefered method anyway.

Check out: http://www.fed-std-595.com/FS-595-Paint-Spec.html

Its a complete list of 595 color names with samples for your screen- not definative but a great place to start.

A Google or other search for “BAC 707″ will bring up various suppliers of full-size airplane paints- duPont for example, and you can buy a gallon of the real thing for something over $100… yow!

Some authorities recomend FS 16515 Canadian Voodoo Gray (aka F101 Voodoo paint) as the modeler’s best match for BAC 707 but I don’t find it that much superior to FS 16440/26440/36440 (Light) Gull Gray. The older, oil-based, Testors Model Master colors include an FS 16515 http://www.testors.com/catalog_item.asp?itemNbr=864. The label on the bottle no longer says “16515″ but it once did- a minor mystery. 515 is still too dark, too rich, IMHO. You’ll note that the higher the last three digits, generally, the lighter the FS color is. So 515 ought to be lighter than 440 and it is, and perhaps lighter than 495 as well, but none are light enough to pass for BAC 707. That’s why the I add ‘795 (or ‘975!) flat white. Perhaps 16515 is a better starting point, but without a water based version, its mostly theory to me.

Does anyone else have experience in mixing or matching BAC 707?

Do you know what Airbus call their aluminum-tone light gray?

Do you know what McDonnell-Douglas (or just plain Douglas) called their aluminum-tone light gray?

Do you know what Lockheed called theirs?

Drop me a line or comment here!"

Junior, repare que na transcrição do texto do blog, eu sublinhei uma formulação que o cara fez para aproximar a cor, sugiro que caso vc tenha aí alguma amostra do FS36495, que faça a mistura com o branco na proporção indicada para ver se a dica do cara procede... se for o caso de vc gostar, pinte uma chapinha plana com a cor e leve numa casa de tintas automotivas, e peça ao cara que formula as cores para fazer uma cor igual para vc, na quantidade que vc quiser.

Valeu Zema, por sorte tenho a tinta FS36495. Vou fazer a mistura e ver como fica.

Faça isso Junior, mas claro, entenda que é teste, eu só repassei o que achei na net ok, vc corre o risco de não chegar a um resultado satisfatório...

Faça da seguinte forma:

não saia mandando 4 partes de branco direto em 3 partes de cinza....

suponhamos para efeito de teste:

Pela fórmula que o cara passou, seriam... vamos supor, 30ml de cinza para 40ml de branco, né!? Faça o seguinte, pegue esses 30ml de branco e, com o auxílio de um recipiente graduado, vá adicionando aos poucos o branco e misturando, vc verá a cor sendo clareada pelo branco e quando chegar no tom que vc achar melhor, pare de colocar o branco e seja feliz. O carinha recomendou 3 : 4 pois para ele ficou de bom tom, mas é uma interpretação bastante pessoal... o mais importante para mim foi o fato de o cara falar que é necessário clarear o FS36495, é questão de testar mesmo!

Boa tarde!
Uma vez Ii num tópico sobre a cor branco andino!
Embora com nomencIatura brnaco,parece um cinza...e desde que usei a primeira vez,não mudo mais pois dá bem o aspecto,tanto pra boeings quanto airbus!

Branco Andino Bell? É cor de qual catálogo? Tem como mostrar para nós algum modelo que usou essa cor?

Interessante....

Valeu!

É automotivo...
Todos os cinzas cIaro dos meius kits são branco andino.Os do Minoru tb.eIe que deu essa dica.

Olá Bell, a minha pergunta foi sobre qual marca de carro, Ford, VW, Chevrolet, etc. Para facilitar a procura no catálogo antes de mandar fazer a cor, sacou.

Valeu Bell.
