Sprayed some Washington Blue today

[farmboy]

Got my shop warmed up pretty good, and after getting the inside of the cab prepped, I decided to go ahead and spray the inside. I'm waiting for perfect temps before doing the cab, I probably got the shop up to 60 on a day like today. This way, I can cover up the inside after this cures and not worry bout overspray. It's the first time I've sprayed this kind of paint, PPG deltron. Was impressed with how it looked, and love the color. It was the color Pop painted this truck after he bought it, be it with a brush.

Do you have the PPG formula code for that color? Thanks

Base coat/clear coat or single stage??

You will love the color when it is completed. You could paint it with a stick and it would still look good .. I painted my 34 truck with Washington Blue this fall (not with a stick of course) while the weather here in Nj was still very warm .. Not the case today .. snowing like crazy right now.. Keep us posted as you continue on . Great job.

Base and clear. Base Deltron 2000 ppg.. clear is there concept line with uv protectant. hopefully will look good during my lifetime!

I don't off hand, but can get it. My PPG store made a call some somebody in the know, and came up with this! I"ll try to get it to you!

good question, fixing to go look..

I had trouble getting a formula the store color matched for me. Wanted $100 for a copy, which I refused to pay. Maybe I am just cheap.

 

[Steve Staysko]

$100 wow I wouldn't have paid $100 either.. I'm so cheap that I can squeeze a Canadian nickel until the beaver shits…...

 

[41panelmark]

Geeze, $100? I while back I went to my store and asked them to match something for me and they did it for free. Of coarse they know I will buy the paint from them when the time comes.

My Sherwin Williams store printed the formula for my '41 Cayuga Blue on a label and attached to the cans. That was 16 years ago though. Gotta make a buck no matter who you screw I guess.
