Finding matching paint for a repair...
« on: May 11, 2015, 07:32:22 AM »
Creek told me about Naish yellow.. "To fix my Mana, I was happy with the yellow color match I got with:
Krylon Colormaster (paint+Primer) "Sun Yellow" (Gloss)"   

...but, I found (while looking for UV protected Clear) this source for custom mixed 2K colors.  If you don't have the need for a compressor and all the other stuff associated with shooting paint, this is about as close to real as you can get.  You simply need to find a matching auto paint color:  'Lexus Uptight Orange' ..whatever?!

Your local auto body paint supplier may also have the machine to make rattle cans ..'save the shipping.

Just remember that spraying automotive paint is serious stuff. It dries in seconds and is not compatible with a lot of primers and off the shelf rattlers.  The automotive paint stores sell disposable carbon vapor masks. They're only good for a couple of times. Just being exposed to the  air the filers get spent.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

always wear masks even when shooting with rattle cans. Where are you located? If your anywhere near me by any chance ventura and santa Barbara county I'd would be more than happy to fix your board just cover the paint cost .  8)  I can color match pretty accurate and blend excellent.
