Default Cowboys Paint Colors

For the White Uniform,

I use an Apple Barrel Silver with a slight tint of metallic blue.

For the pants, I use about 80% silver with a 20% mixture of metallic Emerald Green from Folk Art. These paints are easy to get, inexpensive, and are at your local hobby stores.

For the dark uniform, I simply use the silver from Apple Barrel (no tint).

Reginald

Default Cowboys Gray

I use Testors silver and add some Testors Dark Blue. Don't add to much. Just a little at a time until you get the right shade.

Lolo,

I have photos where the pants look like there's some kind of green hue in them. So I've painted some of my teams that shade of silver/green in their pants unis.
