Lakewood Scattershield

[mockingbird812]

Thanks Bruce. I saw the reference to those descriptors but wasn't sure what that meant for painting metal. I think those letters are for printing, but am not sure! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

I'll get w/ Space Age Paint store tomorrow and see what they say. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Sam,

I wonder if the Lakewood Scattershield red paint would be the same as Lakewood Engine Stand red paint from the same era? My guess is that it is one and the same [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] I have an original paint Lakewood Engine stand- vintage 1972 - that I am the original owner of....it's here at my house, and you are welcome to take any or all of it to match the paint.

Bill's offer sounds like your best bet, and if it would help, I have a half dozen or so Pantone Color Guides here at work. I'll grab the oldest one and the most current and take them home tonite. I have tons of rattle cans in the garage so maybe I can find something that is an acceptable match.

If you find a PMS Guide you DO want to use the 485C for your matching. I've gone the opposite route a few times and, on painted surfaces especially, you'll get a closer match with the Coated samples.

Or, ............. you could call Howie and have him mix up a pint for you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

2nd response from Lakewood - at least i know his source is the engineering drawings which should be a reliable source:

Jim - thanks for your reply. Very helpful. One last question. I notice that Pantone typically has a letter (or two) following the numeric color designation, i.e. Pantone 485 C or M or U. What would be appropriate for my use (painting my Scattershield)? Thanks, Sam

Sam, Unfortunately the only color code listed on the engineering drawing is 485. Jim
