Good for you Carrameow.

I guess you knew you would not be happy sticking with the other blue.

How did you prepare the car for the repaint?

Good Show!

You will be a 'happy camper" ever time you walk up to your car now and will soon forget about the extra hassle.

Yeah - looks nice!!!

I found a way to tone down the Mack Green I bought from Kirker- I mixed about 5% Flame Red and got a color much akin to British Racing Green. I still have to fine tune it a bit more. Somewhere in the 5-10% range of red mixed in dampens it. I am finally getting to use the color theory I learned in college.
