Hi,
I've found an old german roadsign "Soldatenheim kino" but the time has taken its part of colors ( sides and letters in a dark blue and the rest is white). If I want to paint it like it was before what kind of blue and white I have to use ? I need the type of blue and white colors available in a nowadays shop.
Thanks.
So long.
All we need it's a Dackel in each pocket

Our local paint/DIY shop can match colours from any object, using some sort of light probe, and then mix it up for you while you wait.
All armies can be divided into two parts:
1. Infantry;
2. Support arms.

Literally, Soldier's Home.
IE, the NAAFI, the pub, a place where the guys hang out.
Edit - Was a bit pissed off last night. But still...
