Two Thin Coats to Vallejo Paint Converter
Vallejo's Game Color and Model Color ranges between them cover more shades than almost any other brand in our database, which makes them a reliable place to land when converting out of a smaller, tutorial-focused range like Two Thin Coats. Trans Atlantis Games' Wave 3 chart even publishes its own Vallejo Model Color matches for a chunk of the range, and this converter uses those first.
Our Two Thin Coats to Vallejo converter maps every shadow, midtone and highlight (S/M/H) paint across all three Two Thin Coats waves to its closest Vallejo equivalent, prioritising Trans Atlantis Games' own published conversions and falling back to measured RGB colour distance everywhere else. Vallejo's Game Color line leans toward fantasy and wargaming while Model Color comes out of historical modelling, so together they give this comparison unusually deep coverage.
All 123 Two Thin Coats paints in our database are measured against 337 Vallejo colours. 52 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 12 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 15.0.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Vallejo equivalent to a Two Thin Coats paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every Two Thin Coats paint against the full Vallejo range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 123 Two Thin Coats paints in our database, 52 have a Vallejo match within a colour distance of 12.
Are Two Thin Coats and Vallejo paints compatible on the same miniature?
Yes. Both are water-based acrylics and can be layered over one another without any special preparation. Mixing brands on a single model is common practice; the main thing to watch is finish, since ranges vary in how matt they dry.
Why doesn’t every Two Thin Coats paint have an exact Vallejo match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 12 of the 123 Two Thin Coats paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Vallejo option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
