Jordan 191 color

[Jordan2.0]

Hey guys,
Any suggestions for painting the green main color ?..I have bad experience with zero paint on plastic, any other choices ,

Thank you,
Alex.

Well, zero paints shouldn't be used on bare plastic at all But with good layer of primer it shouldn't be any problem. I've been using basic Tamiya primer and that protects the plastic just fine. Hope this helps.

As above Zero paints need a good primer layer to protect the plastic. Also apply them in light coats only, wet coats may burn through the primer and etch the plastic. The colour coats do not need wet application to be effective. However, if you're dead set against the use of Zero paints, Mr Color #66 Bright Green is a good substitute for BP Green, which is essentially what the Jordan was painted in my opinion..

You can of course still try to use the original Tamiya colors. According to the specifications, the body color should be produced there by X-28 and X-5 in a ratio of 2: 1.

But the danger lies in the right mix ratio and I've only seen models with the Zero Paints Set so far.

And I have to say that I haven't had any bad experiences with the Tamiya models in large areas. It may also be important to first apply 1-2 very thin layers of primer.

Mr Color #66 Bright Green is a good substitute for BP Green, which is essentially what the Jordan was painted in my opinion..

I think it is 7up-green (main sponsor), although it is also very similar to the BP-green and the Mr Color # 66 Bright Green fits very well as it seems.

I've just finished a 191 using the Zero colour set. Two coats of Halfords automotive primer on the plastic and you'll not have a problem.
I would recommend using the appropriate primer whichever paint system you use. I certainly wouldn't apply 'colour' paint straight to plastic.

I used Krylon Emerald Green and couldn't be happier with the result.
