John Oder was kind enough to send me a color sample of Patrick Black's version of the Rock Moss Green paint he used on his magnificent Hendey tiebar rebuild. That paint had been concocted from four separate colors of Valspar Tractor and Implement paint - unfortunately, Tractor Supply Stores discontinued the Valspar line and it's become very difficult to find.
Anyway, I went to an industrial coatings outlet this morning and they managed to come up with a dead-on match.
The Benjamin Moore formula - this if for their SuperSpec line of alkyd gloss enamel (P-22) - for one gallon is:
OY 1x 30.0000
BK 6x 8.2500
TG 1x 19.5000
WH 2x 6.2500
Unfortunately, they were out of the P-06 primer in gray (unless I wanted to buy a 5 gallon bucket), so I won't get to try it out for another few days.
A question: Benjamin Moore does not sell a hardener for the SuperSpec line; has anyone found a hardener and/or accelerator that will work with it?
Cheers,
