Paint Equivalents

Mig to Apple Barrel paint conversion chart

Every Mig paint with its closest Apple Barrel equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 252 rows, sorted by name.

128 of the 252 Mig colours below have an equivalent in Apple Barrel within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 20 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 5.0. The 124 gaps are not spread evenly: 43 of them are yellows, so that is the corner of the Mig range Apple Barrel 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.
