Hi There
Has anyone had good results spraying wings with regard to getting a good colour match to the fuselage, I have purchased several shades of white but the fuz is a little creamy. I dont suppose there’s a white standard? I am getting hold of a compressor soon, so maybe a mix your own is in the offing?

Thanks

Successful maiden, only dared one flight, will wait for a quiet day to do more, but went home happy, after a gentle landing. Thanks to John and Jonathan for your help and encouragement.

Needed quite a few clicks of down so need to check that c of g.

Cain,
There are several pure white/white shades.
Check out a BS or RAL colour chart, then get the one you want mixed to that specific tint reference.
