Rustoleum Green Hammered

McKee, Don {Quaker} All Messages By This Member #59685 At the risk of being banned from the group as a non-believer, I don't think you are ever going to find an exact match for the "factory" paint.? You MIGHT someday find the Holy Grail and get the "factory" specifications for the paint, but that will give you the color when the Uni left the factory.? Mine is going on 50 years old and there's NO way it's the same color as when it left the factory.? The sun fades colors, and paint oxidizes.? A really good body man will be able to get a very close match to the current color by tinting and/or playing with the settings on the spray gun.? Been there and done that, was taught how to do it by a very experienced body man.? But the Average Joe getting that out of a rattle can - not gonna happen.? And when you get right down to it, the vast majority of our little Uni's aren't exactly show pieces that will get judged and lose points for miss-matched paint.? So does it REALLY matter? If you absolutely can't stand miss-matched paint, then repaint the whole shooting match, (Even PINK like Tamra did.) and record all the information you can about the paint.? And if you get more attachments in the future, hope that you can still get the exact same paint and paint them to match.? (You did record the color, right?)

John Hutnick All Messages By This Member #59688 Well I asked the "good" bodyman.? This is the shop that the local MB dealership will send you to.? I just stated earlier that they do not do hammered paint.? The Sherwin Williams auto paint store does not handle anything called hammered paint.? Unless someone can tell us all exactly what to do, I conclude that most of this business is a fantasy.? As far as the paint is faded routine, many Unimats are barely taken out of the box.? Yes, original Unimat colors vary.? I have several.? But so far we as a group cannot come up with anything at all, at least for the US.
Gerald Feldman All Messages By This Member #59689 开云体育 Don, ? I agree with you completely. ? All this discussion is wasting time as it has no definitive answer.? The Unimat was produced in several different colors, so there is NO ONE COLOR that is the “correct” one.? Besides, the paint colors everyone seems to be searching for are no longer manufactured and no longer distributed.? Accept that, paint your machines whatever color(s) you like, ?then get on with it and use the time you spend writing these e-mails to actually MAKE something with your machines. ? Jerry F.

Jkle379184 All Messages By This Member #59690 ?And add to that that I have seen three variations of the "Standard color". The Common Green, One with a slight yellow to it and one with a slight blue to it. And that would be normal for a industrial finish that spanned many years of production. You mix Yellow and Blue to get green, so it would be very easy to be off a bit in the ratio. And this was pre computers etc.? ?And no one mentions that the Unimat also came in a "Hammered" Sliver grey.? ?Jeff ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: McKee, Don {Quaker} <donmckee@...> To: Peter Vernaci <pvernaci43@...>; [email protected] Sent: Wed, Mar 29, 2023 3:24 pm Subject: Re: [Unimat] Rustoleum Green Hammered At the risk of being banned from the group as a non-believer, I don't think you are ever going to find an exact match for the "factory" paint.?

All kidding aside. That's sure seems like a tedious process, way tooo easily messed up without some exact measurements and ratios for the shade of paint we all seem to be looking for. Best left to professionals IMO.?

Interesting read though. My best-of-luck wishes to anyone that gives it a try. Please do report back with how it turned out. Don't forget to post pictures. I do apologize for the run on sentences and any piss poor grammer I may have used.. Been a long 48 hours for me.
