Create sapele colour/effect using acrylic paints

[Wingreen]

Anyone know which acrylic colours should be mixed together in order to create a paint colour that best creates the look of sapele?

You might want to look into sapelle stain if you want to apply it on wood?

Duh - but of course! Thanks.

Duh - but of course! Thanks.

Or even better,buy sapele wood

I think that approach will have to wait - I'm only on my second build and wholly reliant on the wood/bits etc that are supplied in the kit.

Hello Rardbobsy, Welcome onboard SOS! We'd prefer you wright in English, however, being Italian is your native language, you can wright in Italian. If it not too much trouble, you can use Google translate function to post in both languages. Google Translate doesn't always translates correctly specifical nautical terms, but it will general impression of what you are mean.

Google Translate:
Ciao Rardbobsy, benvenuto a bordo di SOS! Preferiremmo che tu parlassi in inglese, tuttavia, essendo l'italiano la tua lingua madre, puoi parlare in italiano. Se non ci sono troppi problemi, puoi utilizzare la funzione di traduzione di Google per pubblicare in entrambe le lingue. Google Translate non traduce sempre correttamente termini nautici specifici, ma darà un'impressione generale di ciò che sei cattivo.

Although it probably won't translate all of the technical terms, DeepL seems to do a better job of translating between European languages:
