The Paint We Use by Steve Barile

Since we all live in different areas we decided to post the actual tinting formulas so all our table will match when we arrive at a train show. These tint values are based on the paint shop scanning the actual LEGO bricks.

The brand that we use is sold at Home Base. This store is found at least in Portland and Seattle. The name and description of the brand is:

     Behr Premium Plus - Interior, semi-gloss enamel (wall and trim). Quart size.

* This gray is not actually the right color w.r.t. LEGO light gray. Ben and Steve have both already used it and Dan has used a different color gray that actually matches better. There has been no agreement yet as to which one to use. Dan's color is more accurate but is not easily reproducible by all members. I vote Dan should drag a sample of his paint to Home Base have it scanned and we'll use those number. Ben and I will have to repaint :(
