Possibly a helpful tool for paint decisions

[Olson181]

I saw an ad for this smart phone app last night and got to thinking. Its the Home depot project color app. So if you take a picture of your body, you can virtually paint it with a selection of colors that the app offers. I know Ive had difficulty deciding on a color for a model and to see it in the colors your thinking can be very helpful(to me at least).

 

Hope this helps.

works good for individual pieces too

Great idea Charles, I can see myself using that app to death!

I'll definitely have to try this.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about this app and ironically, I'm redoing a lot of paint in my house and this will come in handy. Of course the fact that it will work on model car bodies and parts is a bonus as well!

Google Play has an app for paint reference called "Scale model helper", also "Hobby color converter" Check them out.

Woodland sceneics has a App for scale conversions also.

I use painted spoons to help me decide on a color, but this might be helpful.
