Paint Code T1654

[Wildman]

I found what I think is the code for my new color: a dark green. How close is this color to Rustoleum's "forest" green? Does anybody have a good clear picture of a truck painted this color? I didnt see one in the FAQ. I cant decide weather to thin out a bucket of cheep rustoleum, and shoot that on there (this is by no means a show truck) or bit the bullet and buy a bucket of expensive stuff just to say I have a 'toyota' color. Any help?

Go to the Napa in Hyannis, to the paint dept. Have them look up the color on a chip chart, then go to the industrial enamal book for fleet paint and match it as close as you can. They were really good to me when I got the hideous orange for mine, and I think it was $65 a gallon, single stage.

You set on gun spraying it? The Hammerite Dune Beige in rattle can form is decent. Scratch it up, and touch it up. That would be my color if I didn't already have my sh!tty paint job.

In the paint code thread it was 72-74 I think, I defenitly want to go single stage. Yea I want to go green, and make it look semi-good I have had enough rattle can paint jobs to last a life time.

I like the green I painted my snow plow although its a bit dark, I think with a light primer I could fix that, along with some thinning, and a few thin coats instead of slobbing on 2 HUGE coats. (correct me if I am wrong)

This is the thread I was thinking about specificly when I asked the question: (scroll down a couple threads)
