Mixing custom paint colors

[grandmasterofpool]

I have all of the basic colors that I need and I was wondering what combination of colors makes a good brown. I ordered the new hummer body from proline and I want to paint it a tan color. Thanks for any help.

Faskolor makes a brown and beige but if you want to do a custom mix try 4 parts yellow, 2 parts red to 1 part green- add a drop or two of yellow to change the lightness of the color... if you have pactra competition orange (4pts) and green (1pt) you can try that too, but the first way gives you a little more control over the color.

figure the ratio that you like first before you go and waste a bunch of paint. i like using old wheel well cutouts to experiment on first before commiting to a whole batch of paint- good luck...
