Mr. Color - jasně zelená

A deep green with no earthy cast

The range holds plenty of green shades, but the vast majority of them are military: dulled, subdued, shifted toward brown or gray. This one is the opposite. It is clean, bright and loud, close to the basic green of the color wheel, and that is exactly why it is used somewhere other than in camouflage schemes.

It finds use on civilian and sports aircraft, on racing cars, on agricultural and construction machinery, on tractors, on railway models and on signal areas. It also works well as a starting color for mixing: a drop of yellow shifts it toward spring green, a drop of blue toward bottle green, and a drop of brown or gray turns it into a dulled military tone.

Saturated greens and reds are among the shades that cover worse than grays and browns, because their pigment is more translucent. Apply them over a white or very light gray base, and rather in three thin coats than in two heavy ones. The tone then settles and the plastic will not show through.

The bottle holds 10 ml. The binder is lacquer based; Mr. Color Thinner or its leveling version serves for thinning and for flushing the gun, usually in a ratio of 1:1 to 2:1. Water does not thin this paint. It is applied with a gun and after drying leaves a smooth surface that polishes and clear-coats well.

Compare the finished shade with the kit instructions in daylight. Green tones shift more than any other color under a bulb or a workshop fluorescent lamp, so what matches in the evening by the lamp may look quite different in the morning by the window.
