M29 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hello Everyone Here is the paint code for a olive drab color that looks really nice. Not sure if it will meet everyone's approval but the local MVC here uses it. Hope you like it. Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5280Beltfed Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looks ok to me. Is this Omni considered a single stage PPG color or is it a base coat? I’m not used to PPG having mixed DuPont Chroma system, matrix, and sherwin williams products in the past. It’s hard to beat the g503 gallon paint for $50 vs sherwin auto ss paint for $600 a gallon set up. Quality is night and day though and I commend your choice.

M29 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 This is an acrylic enamel two part. It is not flat though has some gloss but with a flatting agent you can make it as flat as you want. I only tried a pint of it but was impressed so I thought I would share. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5280Beltfed Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Yeah it’s nice. The stuff I buy doesn’t want you adding anything to the paint but it lays down very dry and the gun tip clogs. I add thinner and it sprays nice but has a semi-gloss finish because of additive. I’d rather have the paint not look like sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I had a local paint shop mix up the paint I used on my MB to match some NOS parts - it is a PPG enamel presumably very similar but they did not share any formula. We used a lot of flattening agent and the PPG hardener. It sprays beautifully - thinned with xylene... The rims are painted with another product - I think Gillespie - and I repainted after this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 This formula is for 2 oz the small jar next to the clutch. I can probably get a printout of the code for a quart or gallon possibly. I think any good paint shop can easily use this formula to make how ever much you need Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
