Have I screwed up, can I just spray some of the base coat (FS36170) over the (FS36270)

I was convinced that for the radome/intakes/wing edges I needed FS36270. 

 

But it's way too light and too blueish gray. 

 

Can I save this by just lightly spraying the base FS36170 over the lighter parts to blend it in to the base colour more? 

 

Tamiya F35-A kit here in 1:72. 

 

Paints used are MRP 280 camouflage grey (FS36170) and Gunze/Mr Colour 306 grey (FS36270)

 

I feel dumb, somone told me I needed fs36270 and I believed them. And it's clearly incorrect!

Try right click & copy image address & then paste that into your message panel as I have done. I'm not sure as to colours, but others on here will be able to advise on that subject better than me hopefully .

You could certainly try overspraying as you proposed. I would do that with highly thinned base color — this will givevyou more control over the color.

thanks for teaching me that XD hopefully someone who knows more about the f35 can help. i followed the modern scheme were the ram panels are painted the same as the base coat. think thats all f35's 2019 and onwards.

good idea. mrp paint is already very thin, but i could add like 25% more thinner (mr colour self leveling is what i use) to paint to my cup to be sure.
