  • I'm A Little Bummed

    I was getting ready today to shoot a couple of color test
    panels to see what color I was going to paint my Rampage
    but when I pulled out my 2 colors I wanted I didnt have 1
    part (top coat) for the Inferno Red Pearl coat.. I called my
    local paint shop to see if they had it or could mix it.... its
    discontinued... but they are gonna call PPG on Monday to
    see if they have it or have the mix ratio... I really like that
    color.... I guess if they cant get it.. its gonna be Flame Red
    with micro metallic in it... bummer

      I'm a little partial to JD green, but I can't wait to see that little truck. Even if it is Flame Red.

        UPDATE.... the wife got home and I told her what was happening...
        she said did you look in the closet... I did have some paint in there
        about a year ago but I thought I got it all... behind a box was a gal
        can and low and behold it was my top coat.... I'M A HAPPY CAMPER..

        reducer/hardener... no problem.... sure am glad she can still remember

          thats great news!, we shot a spray out of the red for the GTO this weelk, and it got the wifes approval so it will be red by the end of the week! I decided to paint it " beermeister red" , instead pf the factory red. trying to avoid looking like a Jake wanna be! J/k Jake, and yes I know mustands suck, and BBC are for dump trucks!

            Our wifes must be related.

            That sure sounds familiar.

                Fantastic! Less $$ you got to spend too.
                There's always something new to learn.

                            I shot a test panel the other day but it looks more orange in the
                            pic than it really is... in person its more maroon.... also ALL of
                            what I own is Mopar... they gave me a check for 35 years so
                            I am loyal... the wife worked there for 34 years... so yeah we
                            are both loyal...
                            I'm gonna cut down on the metallic about 15% and put it
                            in the final clear coat... you shouldnt see those brite spots
                            in the pic
                            EDIT
                            Also this is on white poster board so it has ripples in it
