Paint inquiry: Anybody see this paint color on old Rods?

Does anybody else like this matt/low gloss/flat GREEN-TYPE paint color except me?

POST YOUR PICS if you've got some examples of this paint color OR anything close to it, please. I'm thinking of going with this on my Rod. Help a fellow member out here with pics..PLEASE! Thanks guys.........

what about British racing green but flat instead of with gloss?

 

this is it in gloss, if it was flat it may be very close to your color

 

Here is another from a fellow H.A.M.B. 'ler.....

 

Looks like a green you would find on a army jeep

 

PPG DP primer

 

It's a bit different from BRG...it is unique and it seems was a popular matt color from the past...might even be a facrtory color on some obscure paint chart...but I'm still looking. It seems it carries the RAL # of 6034, 6027, 6011, 6013 and 6000 on the powdercoating color charts. But I know I haven't seen the "exhaustive" offerings...hoping some here have more info WITH Pics if that isn't too much to ask.

Really? Is that primer something that will last and not fade?

 

Here is a pic of my ol' girl. It is painted BRG. When I had the original paint mixed for it in about 1985 I learned then that BRG came in 3 shades. There is a dark shade that almost looks black in poorer light conditions then two lighter shades from memory mine is the lighter one from memory. As to what is available now I cant say.

 

us army olivedrab i think

 

I have to agree with that.

 

it is a catalyzed (ie it has a hardener) primer so it will resist moisture better than most other primers. it will still be somewhat susceptible to UV fading but is one of the more durable primers out there.

 

harley color,one of their flat colors ,also in denim blue

 

o. d. green is My vote

 

I'm thinking this is more of a Gray/Green.

Whereas...I think this may just be a matt OLIVE DRAB.



CONCENSUS?

 

This car was posted on the HAMB and I saved the picture because I liked the color. It's 1938 Ford Avon Blue. It looks more green than blue and maybe what your looking for flattened. Its not quite right but its closer than BRG or army green.

 

The car in the original picture posted, belongs to a friend in Bay City name Marvin. The color is actually a hotrod flatz green. He wasnt happy with the sheen on the paint, so he scuffed it down with a scotch brite pad to flatten it out even more. The darker color on the louvers and feature lines is the original color before it was scuffed.

I believe it is HotRod Flatz olive drab green... here is a link

Roupe......

The OUTDOOR pic looks SPOT on! I think you might have nailed it...and flattened would bring it to the original Rod I posted. Got any numbers on that paint? Thanks, by the way.

Wow...who'd a thunk that was the same color?

I guess if scuffed down, maybe...but you say it's so, and I would have never guessed!

Absolutely sure on that, huh? Goes to show, it's a toss up on what you'll get after a scuff-up on most any paint, I guess! Thanks...

Boston

 

I know for sure that it is hot rod flatz, but not 100% that it is OD green. I will see if I can find out for sure for you though.

 

Thanks alot!

Roupe.......I found some numbers on that Ford Avon Blue in a 1951 color chart (didn't find it for '38!): AVON BLUE by Dupont 1077, 246-39845. Ford Code M 4521.

Hope that helps you.

Boston

 

I think its ditzler 35-1088. Hope that helps.

 

Here's the link for 1938 Ford colors. Avon blue is the one in the upper right corner. Page 3 lists it as tcp 1088.

Here's one more pic. I wish I could find the original thread.

 

OK....now I see it! Good detective work...any chance you'll be painting this color? Have you found a source for it yet? I think it should have been named: Avon GREEN!

Boston

 

Friggin' nice..hey? Gloss OR matt!

Scuffed down...I can see it!

 

Here's the original post.
