Looking for MicoLux "Grimy Black" Airbrush Paint

[damienjameswebb]

Hoping to find someone on here that might have or know where to find this older "grimy black" airbrush paint that MicroLux used to carry. I work for Little Canada (an attraction in Toronto, Ontario where we are building all of Canada in 1:87 scale) and we love using this for our general weathering for structures. The bottle in this picture is the last one we have, and it's almost empty... we've been using this brand/ color for nearly 10 years and (sadly) Micro-Mark no longer sells/makes this color anymore. There IS a "Grimy Black" sold on Amazon, but it's a brush on... and not the same color at all. Any leads/ help on this would be EXTREMELY grateful. If anyone has any leads on old stock or if you have a couple bottles laying around collecting dust... let me know <3

They were made by Vallejo for them; I'd get in touch with both and find out what you can.

According to a user on Engine Black vs Black (and where to find grimy black?) - Model Railroader Magazine - Model Railroading, Model Trains, Reviews, Track Plans, and Forums , Vallejo model air 71.055 is a good match for Grimy Black (Perhaps with a bit of green added).

Unsure of the above. Colour says White, but description says top 10 colours.

An alternate could be Vallejo Weathering FX - Slimy Grime Dark

Seems like it can still be had here. Although maybe that is US only?

edited: nevermind, that link is for the brush version. Still some vallejo thinner mixed with that brush version should get yo the same place, especially if that brand was made by Vallejo

Also, from what I remember, that line was made to color match the old poly scale railroad colors, many of which were used on Star Wars models. Archive-X has also created a paint line color matched to those same sources, so they should have match in their paint line
