which color for African American skin tones

[wcb4]

I have tried a half dozen colors, trying to get something acceptable, and either the color is wrong (too red, etc) or it takes so many coats to get even coverage that the skin is way too dark. I know someone on here did a Mr. T, and the color came off looking pretty good in the pictures. Anyone have any suggestions for color. I'd love something approximating the Lando skin tone.

I think that Toffee Brown (by Ceramcoat) would be close to Lando. Somethin' like that. (If I remember correctly). Also, maybe an Autumn Brown (again, by Ceramcoat). They're both fairly close, but I think you'd get good results with either.

Thanks Eggs... Doing another Raven, this time its Ray Lewis (#52). Trying something new. I had a few sheets of laser print water slide decal paper in the basement workshop from when I was making custom slot car bodies, so instead of painting the ravenon the helment, the patch on the sleeve and the numbers, this time I'm trying decals. We'll see. I might have to stack them. I ma not sure that the white backing is opaque enough to really hold back the dark purple from the shirt or black form the helmet.

Decals sounds cool for that. Lookin' forward to seein' it! :D
