    Hulk Green Paint Recipe

    Hey all, I'm working on some custom parts for a Hulk body and was wondering if any had any special recipe for Mego's Hulk green color? I know there's one out there for the Mego flesh tone that really close so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has come up with anything for the Hulk green. Thank!

    Well, since every piece of my Mego Hulk is a different shade of green, does it really matter?

      Joe's got a point there

        I used to mix my own green for Hulk, but like Joe says, every Hulk and every part seems to be just a touch different. Finally discovered that Delta Ceramcoats "Christmas Green" is dang close to the original Hulk color without mixing anything. Get that, and if depending on what color green your hulk is, you might have to make it a little more yellow or a little more blue depending, but the Christmas Green may be dead on, it's pretty dead on to a Wicked Witch body as well.

          That's what I needed to hear Dave, thanks! At least that's a starting point to work with

            Hmmmm....

            I've found good ol' Testors green to be a near perfect match; after a whack of mat varnish. Testors enamel is really thick though; and it may not work so good on something with a lot of detail.

              Now, can anyone tell me what color resin dyes to mix to get a close Hulk green color? The problem I'm having it that my resin cures white so if i use too little green it turns out lime colored and too much makes it look like if Hulk was to get a bruise. hehe really dark green. So I'm thinking that so other color needs to be thrown in to the mix. Anyone cast resin parts in a hulk green before?

                The deep emerald green parts of the mego hulk are the best color IMO.I would go that route
