It's impossible to get consistent results because MonoKote colors are inconsistent between batches. My first experience with it was my first Corsair. I used two rolls of insignia blue and the plane looked like a patchwork quilt. I now buy the 18' rolls to insure the same color. But that, of course, works only if 18' will cover the plane.

As for Top Flite's paint, I gave up on that stuff for the above reason. Nothing wrong with the paint but I've never been able to get it to match.

The only way to get the colors to match is (1) buy the same batch of MonoKote (i.e., 18' roll) and (2) take a patch of it to the paint dealer and have it matched. I don't do that because of the expense; I just take my chances.

I usually try to select a MonoKote color that matches a Rustoleum (whose batches are consistent) color. For example, Rustoleum Sunrise Red #7762 matches MonoKote, Dark Red perfeclty. Rustoleum also sells a dark blue that matches MonoKote Insignia Blue very well.
