I need to touch up a few spots on my 37031 KPEV P8. I did a little work to make the cab sit more level, and I need to hide a few small file marks. I have paints that match the black and dark red areas nearly perfectly (not noticeable except in very bright light, and even then you have to look closely), but I need something to match the dark green Märklin uses.

I am no stranger to mixing paint, as I once did custom paint and model building work for a couple hobby shops here in the US, but finding and/or mixing a batch of dark green to match this KPEV green has eluded me after many, many tries.Mad Of course, I have mainly been using paints that I am familiar with, such as Floquil, Polly-S, and I have experimented with a couple Tamiya paints.

So, does anyone know of a match for Märklin's KPEV green, or a formula to mix paints to match, that may be available in the US? The local hobby shop carries Tamiya and Humbrol paints, but I have very little experience with those two brands.

Thanks!

Why don't you send an e-mail to Maerklin's service department (find it on the Maerklin homepage), asking for the correct colour number?
