Paint where's the end?????

I've posted before that I had paint mixed from info here. Had it done at Sherwin Williams. I had one quart made and by the time I paid for the reducer etc plus tax that quart came to about $80. I think I still feel like a sucker even if the paint is the right color. Anyway, for the Homelites I found Krylon polyurethane in True Blue quarts. It looks slightly too dark compared to my original tractor color though the Homelite colors I see here in the Homelite section seem to be the same color as the Krylon paint. I also picked up a of small can of white to lighten the paint if necessary. I'm thinking I could also use light grey to "tint" the True Blue. Anyway, total cost less than $10. to experiment with a spray gun instead of ugh cans...MadManX

I'm using Allis Chalmers orange that I got from the local Tractor Supply store to paint my 7790 deisel. It matches almost perfectly. I think the brand is BPS (Best Paint Sold). It's available in gallons or cans, I got the cans. Looks nice and shiny to. Lawrence [A href='http://www.tractorsupplyco.com/']http://www.tractorsupplyco.com/[/a]

Hi Lawrence,That sure sounds simple to me.Ilke that idea.I started out asking all kinds of questions on paint on till i was sick of it.I even ended up like MMANX, Napa was getting ready to mix and sell me paint that was to match the color i needed.But i did not match.$93. QT,With paint and mixers&reducers.Ended up getting it of the shelf,real close match.I liked it and thats what counts.And for much LESS.---Have a good one. -Ron B
