I did some spray painting yesterday despite extremely high temperatures.
It to up to 105 though it was a little cooler than that when I was doing
the painting. The humidity was fairly low. I used Scalecoat II Pullman
Green. Everything seemed to go OK. The color looked too black. When I
painted several cars about 3 or 4 years ago the color looked off until it
dried
overnight, and then it looked perfect. This time the color did not change
as it dried. So my newly painted car sides do not exactly match my old
cars. Its not so far off that I cannot live with it. But I am wondering if
my
spraying in the heat would be the reason for the difference in the color?
Or is it a problem of Scalecoat not being consistent in their mixing of
colors?
I had earlier tried Floquil Pullman Green and it was too light. I will
revisit the possibility that it is closer than the Scalecoat.
