About Humbrol paints
Humbrol's numbered colours have been a British modelling staple for decades. The same number means the same colour across the range, so Humbrol 33 is matt black whether you choose the enamel in a 14ml tin, the acrylic in a 14ml dropper pot or a spray. Kit instructions, especially from Airfix, often quote Humbrol numbers, which makes it easy to match the paints you need.
The picker lists Humbrol in number order, with the enamel and acrylic of each colour side by side.
Humbrol paint questions
Should I choose Humbrol enamel or acrylic?
Enamels brush out smoothly and are very durable, but take longer to dry and need enamel thinners. Acrylics dry faster, smell less and clean up with water or Humbrol acrylic thinners. Either works well on plastic kits.
What do I clean brushes with after Humbrol enamel?
Humbrol Enamel Thinners or white spirit. Water won't remove enamel paint.
Why do I need to stir Humbrol enamel tins?
The pigment settles at the bottom of the tin over time. Stir thoroughly, scraping the bottom, until the colour is even, otherwise the finish and sheen can be wrong.
