Currently I am touching up a 1984 Storm Shadow's armbands. But upon trying to match the white shade I'm running into some issues. I want the white to match the 1984 Storm Shadow and Testors Model Masters Acryl offers quite a few whites to pick between. So my question is, which white would be the best choice: semi-gloss, gloss, flat, etc.? I'm new at this so any help you could give me would be great. Again, I'm not trying to customize the armbands, I'm just touching up problem areas to match up the original paint to my personal ARAH collection. Thanks for your time and any help or information you can provide. Have a great day.

You'll never match it. It will just look painted, my advice is leave it alone.

have you thought about mixing to get the preferred shade?
Any way, lucky!....If I had to touch up my SS I would have to use Yellow. good luck oh I like something with a gloss, only cause of the hardness that comes later. if to shinny u can add a clear acrylic flat or semi later on.
