Humbrol Paints: Are Spray Paints and Bottle/Tin Paints color coordinated?

[George]

Gents: I recently purchased Humbrol Acrylic Spray Paint Yellow #69 to use for Airfix's 1/24 James Bond 007 Autogyro.  I want to buy the bottle version of Acrylic Yellow #69 to cover the seams and do not wish to decanter the spray paint.  Nor do I want to buy another paint brand.  Has anyone used Humbrol Spray Paints and bottled paints of the same color and found they are exact colors?  I ask because I experienced other hobby paint brands like AK Interactive with four different shades of RLM 79 (1941) Sand Yellow (Version 1) with FOUR different colors of RLM 79!  Crazy!

Hi George. 

I would expect colour differences from spray can to paint tin. 

I have no experience of this except in the car world. 

A touch-up pencil is not the same colour as a spray can even when mixed by the same facility. 

Apparently it has something to do with atomization and application even where exactly the same paint components are mixed. 

I hope I'm wrong for your sake though. 

Good luck.
