Green paint for the PBT
Anybody have an acceptable color green for the PBT stamps? I know vendors sell it...but, I was thinking maybe a hobby store. Thank you, Joe

IIRC, that's more of an ink than paint.
The size of the stamps were off significantly. Maybe that's been corrected.

Chick’s thread at TC suggested a paint pen applied to the stamp gave great results, and if you skip further down to reply 698, there’s a green that is worth testing for color accuracy:

Practise lots on a painted metal plate until your happy with the stamp and the ink weight. It's gotta be perfect.

Thank you for all the input. I looked at Chick's post that Tim shared. That looks like the way to go. I will also study the look & size of the stamps as suggested by Kurt. I got them from pacecarjeff. Thank you, Joe

Joe, notice that I did practice and found it worked best to apply color to stamp, then I’d stamp a piece of sheet medal and then stamp the cowl to give the desired look. The paint cleans up with water and is very thin similar to an ink.

I used stamps from Hobby Lobby oddly enough and I think they came out pretty close. Paints were also in their craft paints section.
