To Match Finish:
+by color number indicates Dull Coat (16-457) final finish needs to be applied.
*by color number indicates Gloss Coat (16-459) final finish needs to be applied.

Note: Color matches are not 100% accurate between brands. Matches are based on color data available to general public. This information is provided as a convenient reference for the modeler. Please bring any errors to the attention of Badger Air-Brush Company.
