Paint Equivalents

Duncan to Mig paint conversion chart

Every Duncan paint with its closest Mig equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 180 rows, sorted by name.

101 of the 180 Duncan colours below have an equivalent in Mig within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 16 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.6. The 79 gaps are not spread evenly: 14 of them are reds, so that is the corner of the Duncan range Mig does not answer.

How close is close enough? Reading the ΔE column

Moving a whole recipe across takes more than one pot. These search the boxed sets each range is sold in.
