RAL 6013

[Clunkmeister]

Has anyone ever found an acceptable match for RAL 6013?   Yes I know RLM02 is very close, but it’s not exact, So do you doctor up the RLM02, or is there something closer out there?

Comments would be much appreciated.

Sprue Brothers has Hataka Hobby RAL 6013, supposed to be good paint.

Oh thanks Mike. Is Hataka an enamel, laquer, or water based?  I'm going to buy some for some of my postwar Czech and Israeli builds, so I guess I'll soon find out. :)

I can’t remember where I read that Hataka lacquers were good, and acrylics only so so ...

Having grown tired of trying to obtain MRP paints I tried Hataka lacquers and found them to be very similar to my old go to but rapidly disappearing  Model Master paint in respect to airbrushing and thinning. If anything I find I get a smoother finish than with MM. I have only used a few limited colors so far but have been pleased with color matches.
