What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Another Ahab]

Details like that do nothing to ruin your paint job.

I used to do some residential painting (never again), and I learned over time that the details that you as the painter suffer through (IF you're a detail guy) tend to go completely unnoticed by anyone other than yourself.

Yes absolutely!! The quality of our work is in the details. They accumulate... as does the lack of detail.

Don't worry. I will make sure the ugly ducking is avenged some day. I will find a bunch of kids that like to tag buildings and turn em loose on her with a case of Sand Tan. HA!

Cause you stole the LED lights I wanted from swamp, just like he stole your bridge plate. The vicious cycle!

Hey Coffey, Do you have any numbers on that match for Rustoleum Deep forest green, I use it all the time,but cant get any one to come up with a match, even contacted rustoleum via email, they refused to divulge the mix. proprietory, , would be nice to find it in a nice automotive paint

 

[Coffey1]

No sorry all I have is the color match label from home depot.

 

[tobyS]

It would be interesting to see the difference (or not) from Deep Forest Green FS 34086.

 

[someoldmoose]

Spray a test panel (white license plate blanks from a craft store) with the color you want and take it to your paint mixer. If they have a scanner they can match it in seconds or they can do it manually by mix and test. I have even taken pictures of colors i like and had them matched.

Two ways.
1. Buy a can of the color spray paint you want. Ask for a mixing stick from the paint desk, spray the stick and say "match this please"
2. Don't buy the can, but refer to actions detailed in "1"

they will blow dry it and make your paint for you!

 

[simp5782]

Dark Forest is 34086 and Dark Green is 34082 I think. I didn't go over and check the code page.
