is this really Folkestone gray...?

[flatford8]

Good advice mrtx...

Looks like another gallon is needed and a MEDIUM reducer this time; and a nice cool, dry sunny day with not too many bugs... Sounds like a day in Maine that happens maybe once or twice a year!

More painting! ....after a another round of 320 block sanding: resulting in several more days of the occasional daytime beer, bad words and classic rock on the radio await!

Sounds like a good time!!!....Want company??....Mark

Pics of my '40 painted in my garage yesterday.
Ordered Folkestone gray from TCP... why does it look like Sahara Tan... are my old eyes playing tricks on me? Got some serious orange peel (but that's a different story....)
grabbed this pic off the web:

what kind of paint did you use? acrylic enamel, urethane, lacq. single stage, or does it have a clear coat. how did the paint spray? I've only used their (tcp) epoxy primer so far, thank you.

This is an old thread, but for reference here are three pictures of original 1940 folkstone grey paint from an inside door piece on my truck. The circled area was buffed with rubbing compound, and then i took a picture under flourescent light, shadowed outside light and direct outside light. (cloudy day)
