Olive green paint code
Has anyone cracked the code for the drab green used on RD's? I've been thru several colour swatches, spectrographed it, but the paint resulted in the wrong hue. Tried to sample the signal stems and the area was too small to analyze. Let me know - thx

Re: Olive green paint code
This is olive green zinc plating isn't it? Same as used on Amphenol connectors.
Maybe this is what you need, https://www.caswellplating.com/electrop ... 2-gal.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

tacky1 might be able to help here. He sent his stuff off to UK? I think for plating.

Re: Olive green paint code
Zinc coated is correct but I found a paint swatch that is almost exact but suspect someone has been successful at this.

Re: Olive green paint code
What did it cost (ball park #'s fine) to get all those bits done. Looks like you about cover off all of them minus the kick start stem.
Re: Olive green paint code
Been 4 mths since asking; so I'll ask again. Is there a spray bomb that will match the olive green noted on the above noted parts? I'm sure Colorite probably does but they at $100 a can.
Re: Olive green paint code
Was able to formulate the right Sray max acrylic paint to match the drab green zinc (spectrographed) to the foreground signal stem photo at the beginning of this thread. Just have to add a satin clear coat. Cost $31 to do all the bits that will be done over the winter.
