Roguehamst3r Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Good morning all, I’m hopping to touch up my TM Scar as it has a nasty scratch on the body, but I’m struggling to match the colour does anyone know the exact colour. thank you
Supporters Lozart Posted October 12, 2022 Supporters Posted October 12, 2022 50 shades of RAL7008! If you want an EXACT colour match, you'll need to go get it colour matched somewhere that does custom rattle cans. (to be honest I can't even see the scratch!)
Roguehamst3r Posted October 12, 2022 Author Posted October 12, 2022 Thank you the RAL7008 looks about right, your a legend. Oh and you can’t see the scratch as I didn’t post the picture of the scratch just the best pic I had of the colour. once again your a legend Lozart 1

OP - you will struggle to get an exact match (especially if the Receiver is anodised rather than painted) Case in point - all of the tan parts on this gun are 'RAL8000'. Nearly every part is a different shade depending on metal grade, plastic type, and the lunar cycle by all accounts. Good luck. Tactical Pith Helmet 1
Roguehamst3r Posted October 12, 2022 Author Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks mate, I’m not looking for perfection just as close as possible, as I have pitted the alloy. I have sanded and filled the pits, just need to colour over the repair. thank you to all that have commented this is my first post on this forum and will not be my last. Airsoft players are really a friendly bunch.

Pseudotectonic Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Sometimes I wonder if gold paint is not too far off from the various "RAL8000s" in rifles etc (especially the cerakote one) Tactical Pith Helmet 1

It's a hard one to replicate. I reckon for scratches you may well be right though. Those touch up pens are damn good these days. Of course you could always use a matt lacquer to finish it off I suppose. I learned a lot about touch up paint, rattle cans, and panel beating with my first wife. Her driving was interesting...
