NewB Question?

Ya know, it my be the black throwing off the eyes, but I think the pod will match up pretty well with yours.

Yeah I think the black is decieving, and maybe that 1/2" layer of dust on everything. Been planting greens/food plots the last few weeks. Boy it's dusty here. The grey is actually pretty dark. I'd bet it's within a shade or two of yours. Frustrating part is we're getting 2 or 3 different color choices from Ford even. Looks like a trial and error thing short of getting a custom color match type thing.

Just found this place. Looks pretty promising. Not cheap, but promising. I don't have a local place to mix custom rattle cans, so I'm limited. Small town.

Played around with my paints and old dash pod. Tried the Dark flint(which it should be says Ford) and again too light. Tried putting it over black base coat. Tried other gray paints. Tried spraying Dark flint and black at the same time . Then smacked it across garage with nearby hammer.

If it can't be fixed with Duct Tape or a ball-pean hammer, it can't be fixed! I wasted some money on a can of Duplicolor charcoal grey last night, and a waste it was. Not even close.

I ordered a custom rattle can from the link above. It ain't cheap, so I hope it works.

Yea I know. Why it ticks me off so much. Tired of wasting so much money on it.

Let me know how the new paint works out.

I'll let you know. Hope to have the can in this week. They didn't say how long, just a general note that says 1-14 days to ship for custom orders. Hopefully it'll be on the lower end of that scale. Hoping to order my Gryphon this week.

Custom rattle can was waiting at my door this afternoon. Got the first coat on now, bout to add a second light coat. It looks pretty good so far. It may be a shade too dark though. But, I put it directly over the charcoal grey duplicolor I already had on, so we'll see. I'll keep you posted and add pics if it works out or not.
