ESB Cape Stripe Spray Paint Color?

[mattman1138]

Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to find a fabric or spray paint color that matches the ESB stripe:

PANTONE® USA | PANTONE® 1535 CP - Find a Pantone Color | Quick Online Color Tool

Shop for Pantone® 1535 CP samples and products on Pantone. Convert Pantone® 1535 CP color into RGB, Hex, and CMYK values.

What does everyone use that has passed 501st muster? I'm having a heck of a time finding something that is really close. Thanks!

Any idea what kind of specific material to use for the the cape? CRL say canvas, linen or wool.

I got some stuff from Hobby Lobby that looks like linen. It's on the thin side so we'll see what the 501 says when I submit eventually.

Awesome, yea I was looking at this but couldn't find a close color. Ended up finding a humbrol acrylic that was almost exactly dead on yesterday after posting this. Your info is amazing btw! I can't imagine the time you spend putting all of it together.

Angelus make fabric paints that can be used with an air brush , you may have to mix some colours together until you get the hue you desire. The good thing with Angelus is they make an adding agent called 2 soft which makes the paint softer and more supple
