RE: Paint and FS numbers
Thanks!
Just a quick question though from a painting newbie....what do I do with the FS numbers??
Are they an international standard of some sort whereby I could go to a paint shop and ask for a batch of FSxxxxx to be mixed up for me?
Rgds,
Mark

RE: Paint and FS numbers
Great nudge Mark 
Yes, they are Federal standard numbers and the number is a documented color that the military uses. It is to help you get a chip color and duplicate it and a good store may have these. As there are international numbers as well, I 'm sorry it took me some time to get back to you.
