Glitter color match for some G1s?
« on: April 02, 2014, 08:05:28 PM »
I have a Medley and a Sunbeam whose symbols need restoring, and I'm not sure which shades I need. Naturally I want to match the original glitter as closely as possible.

I'm looking at the colors offered here and here. I don't really trust my monitor or the photos to be true-to-life so I hope someone can help with these specific ponies.  :)

what I usually do when colormatching is ill actually bring the pony with me to the craft store and eyeball the different glitterpaints that way.

Well, none of the stores I've been to have glitter with small enough particles  :huh: So I think I'm stuck with having to order online.

Ive been using the folk art glitter paint, tho ive been switching to marthas. I like the stuff but i dont know if its as fine as youre looking for. Im not super picky with glitter cause i dont use it often.

If it helps at all the G1 ponies had a blend of colour and silver glitter - the silver is what really makes it pop.

For Medley I'd go Michigan Moss on the first link and for Sunbeam it'd be Bright Gold. :)

Yes, I have heard that, thanks  ^.^ I can't find a fleck of silver on Sunbeam for some reason - I'm sure it all rubbed off.

I'll try the colors you suggested, thank you!
