Hi Mitch,

Exact paint matches are available from specialist dealers... what colour(s) are you after?

Ralph

Hi Mitch,

Mike Rhoades sells paint specially colour-matched for Meccano. He can be reached by telephone on 01482 650463 - he does not have e-mail.

Here are a couple of links to sites that explain the colour changes over the years:

http://www.nzmeccano.com/AboutPaint.php

http://www.internationalmeccanome...tseries/ColourSchemes/colours.htm

If you are not too fussy about an exact match them Plasti-Kote spray cans have some colours that are fairly close to Meccano colours and a lot of people use those. you could even make up your own colour scheme - lots of modellers do!

I hope this helps...

Ralph
