    I used Kirker paint on my '60. word of caution. Paint went on great but colors gal to gal were off. If using more than one gal premix together. I found out after repairing some damage to a door.

    Metallic paint will appear different depending on light/color and camera. I got purple metallic truck and my Sony camera it always appeared blue.

    So, I guess the mods deleted the examples of paint I posted because they were not HAMB era? Even though they were just examples?

    Or was it because they had the Kirker Logo?

    Just a little tip , besides the initial mix ,thinner ,,temperature , humidity , gun pressure , rate of spray overlap distance , timed between coats & probably other things I'm forgetting will affect color , especially some metallics .
