The saturated dark blue of American national markings: Mr. Color FS15050 blue is a lacquer paint in a ten-milliliter bottle for spraying with a gun.
Responsibility details are not available.
The dark blue with the number FS15050 is the color of the markings of United States aircraft. It is the blue of the star in the circle and of the bars at its sides, and the same tone is carried by lettering, by bands around the fuselage and by the tail surfaces of machines given a ceremonial finish. The opening digit of the American standard denotes a gloss finish, which with national markings matches reality.
Markings are most often handled with a decal nowadays, but there are situations where they have to be sprayed through a mask: large scales, machines for which no decal exists, or cases where the marking is meant to be partly painted over. For such work thin the paint more and lay it down in several light coats, so that the edge of the mask does not stand proud and the boundary stays sharp.
Ten milliliters of paint from the lacquer range with an organic solvent. It dries within minutes and once cured it can be overcoated with clear without the risk of smearing.
Use thinners intended for this group of paints, either the classic or the Leveling version. The manufacturer states a range from an equal part of thinner down to half that dose, according to how thick the paint is. Always stir the contents before application, because a saturated pigment settles quickly.
Besides markings, this tone suits small items where a decal would look out of place: lettering in large scales, color coding of armament or features of the ceremonial finishes in which machines were shown at air shows. A saturated blue is noticeably muted under a matte clear coat, so it is better to leave the gloss, or to apply the clear only to the surrounding area.
