We ask ourselves often why we do this. We didn't mean to own a small model paint company. We're modellers and having tried all sorts of model paint brands and types we simply preferred enamels.

We sincerely believe we produce the best quality model enamel paint on the market today. The longer we've been doing this, the more we've realised that it takes a lot of work to get things right.

Making paint is quite easy but when you're dealing with subjects which are not well represented by modern fan-decks things get more complicated, not only in creating a physical sample to match against but mainly in proving it's right.

We maintainted the Colourcoats brand to provide you with the right starting point. Our paints match the typical new appearance intended by the operators, and in some cases, we are the only company in the world offering model paints based on up to date research - for instance you shall not find WWII Royal Navy camouflage paints anywhere else in the world which reconcile with the Royal Navy's own documentation.

How ever, our lives are changing and we are no longer able to give Colourcoats the time and effort it deserves. We are continuing with our research and will still provide PDF documents both for purchase and for free. Colour profiles will still be produced, books contributed to and model manufacturing companies supported.

We hope for Colourcoats to live on, we don't know how that will look yet so stayed tuned and we'll keep you updated.
