Yes Buyer beware! I use Colorcoats they are really hard to come by in US now, but they can be found. You will have to adjust to your taste.

John,
I did buy some and they don't come close to the paint chips, but I think I have found a source that will. I won't know for sure for about a week so I don't want to say anything yet.

In addition to the suggestions provided in the responses to the question in the Iowa class thread, there are also the acrylic options by Lifecolor.

I hope this doesn't open a can of worms, but what paints on the market are the closest matches to the USN WWII 5H Haze Gray and the 5N Navy Blue on the Snyder & Short's paint chip chart?
Thanks.
