What paints do you recommend to touch-up the gray chassis of an AF UP 372 and the blue of an AF 350 Royal Blue? Brush-on preferably. Looking for best color match. Thanks.

Problem with the 372's is that they came in two different shades of grey.

Give Doug Peck at Portlines Hobbies a call. He does have a wide selection of good brush-on paints for AF which may be viewed on the web site. He has some very good matches for the Royal Blue (although there are different hues for prewar, 1948, and 1950) and you might benefit by consulting with Doug when you make a selection as you might, as well, for the UP GP-7.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I'm aware of and purchase them from Doug. Was also wondering if anyone has come across suitable alternatives, particularly that might be Acrylic instead of enamel. Also, while on the topic, my experience has been that Doug's jars can become difficult to re-open after a use or two. Anyone found a technique to avoid that or re-open them more easily if stubborn? Thanks.
Any specs, P/N, or names for the different UP grays and Royal Blue blues?
Thanks Banjoflyer for the tip.
