Porsche Signal Green

Porsche Signal Green, a modeling shade by Mr.Paint

Porsche Signal Green belongs to the automotive line of paints by Mr.Paint. The shade carries the name of a Porsche factory finish, so it is aimed above all at builders of automotive models who want to match the body to the color of the real subject rather than mix it by eye.

What the color is for

It is on the body that it shows whether a model matches its subject. The production and custom green Porsche finishes are among the shades hardest to hit from an ordinary modeling palette, and guessing from a photograph almost never works out: a photo depends on the light, on the weather and on the way it was processed. A named shade sidesteps that problem. It comes in on the whole body, but also on the small things where you need exactly the same tone, that is on the engine lid, the mirrors or interior parts tuned to the color of the car.

Recommended procedure

• Stir the contents thoroughly before use so the shade stays the same throughout
• Degrease and even out the surface of the model beforehand, as the body forgives least of all the parts
• Apply in several thin coats, not in one heavy one
• Try the shade on a piece of waste plastic, not straight on the model
• Work in a ventilated space and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging

Who the paint is for

For car modelers who build Porsches and stick to the factory palette, and just as much for anyone adding a particular green tone to their collection. Since the shade is tied to one car, it is worth counting on using it up mainly on a single project.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging.
