Supplies

  • Various brands/colors of paint
  • Mixing cup
  • Paint stirrer (toothpick?)

    DO NOT use your paintbrush to stir paint

Before you Begin:

  • Mixing paints is not an exact science. Finding just that right shade can be quite a challenge. Occasionally, however, you can find a single paint (brand and color) that matches a Star Wars color perfectly. Or, you can obtain the color you want by mixing only 2 colors.

  • Below is a list of single paints and 2-colors-mixed that are great matches for certain Star Wars shades. The list was provided by members of the Forgotten Force. If you have a color or easy (2-part) mix to add, please send it here.
