Bowhunter... I agree with your analogy, I took a panel shield to LOWES from my ZD21 during a ROP installation and they matched the shade perfectly with their computer based spectrum analysis scanner. It was their in house brand of a good oil based enamel that cost 24.95 per gallon. I thinned it with mineral spirits and it sprayed flawlessly. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
