is there a web site or publication that has instructions for mixing ratios of paint to yield FS colors? e.g 1 part Flat Black + 20 parts Flat White = FS 36622, Light Camouflage Gray

any and all info on this would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Here is a site that lists some color mixing. Testors Model Master paints come pre-mixed for most of the FS number colors. They are the best to use, in my opinion.

I, on the other hand, don’t care for Testors Model Master paints—they just don’t seem to work for me, though many will use nothing else. Go figure. Unless you already have a brand you like, I advise trying several. I haven’t tried them yet, but several have raved about Vallejo paints.
