Rob de Bie Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I love MRP lacquer paints, but finding the correct colors is often frustrating. MRP paint color descriptions, as listed by most webshops, are far too generic to be useful. Finding the correct paint number(s) drove me nuts, and even MRP does not have a decent overview to help you. Therefore I created a list with a country code for each color to sort out the considerable mess, and that helped a lot to understand the sub-ranges in the MRP paint range. For the countries whose colors are spread out through the 400 colors, I made separate listings, sorted on paint number if a system exists. https://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/mrp-list-all.htm Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob de Bie Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 The list is now complete - I checked and copied the texts on all 400 labels. So if you made a copy or a PDF, it's best to do it again! https://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/mrp-list-all.htm Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don't know what else to say other than THANK YOU for taking the time to create and organize such a list! It is exceptionally helpful! If there's a way this list can be pinned somewhere, that would be fantastic. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
