Another Paint thread

Wooooo hooooo!

I have been looking everywhere for a place that sells Rustoleum Orange. Even so, I was planning to mix some red in to make it match the eye-splitting orange my car was originally painted. I had finally given up and bought cans of Safety Red and Safety Yellow with plans of mixing my own toxic orange.

Then while browsing around an ACE in Wimberley, Texas I discovered an ACE brand Rustoleum knock off that they will happily tint to any color you like. AND it is a little cheaper than Rustoleum.

Buy some thinner too. Rustoleum dries too fast to level itself as it is in the can. Add the thinner and expect a long time for it to dry, like a day or something.

I will go to ACE over the weekend and see what they can do. Also look into Valspar and see what they have. This is very interesting and a challenge. I will next try to find a good chip for IRIS BLUE BU-12.

Don't try to cover it all on one coat and get a run like I always do.

They have quarts of Safety Orange on the shelf at my local ACE. But I think I am going to have them mix something up for me.
