Re: (ET) Paint

I've never tried those particular  Rustoleum products though they make 
good stuff in general. The colors are all likely too bright yellow. I 
(the Electric Tractor Store me that is) have been selling custom color 
matched spray cans but have backed off as having shelf life and shipping 
issues. And more recently a local auto body supply shop matched the 
color to an old GM/Chevy paint code: "Yellow 5283" from the 1970's and 
early 80's I believe. So in theory you can go to any auto paint place 
and they can mix up that color for you. And should be able to tweak it 
to your desired dry time/temperature etc. Just be sure to use an 
automotive primer designed for the automotive type top coat if go that 
route.
