S K Green Paint reccomendation

[dngrmse]

Picked up a little 1/4 drive SK set over the weekend. The box has lost most of the paint on the outside. Is there a close match for the SK green in a rattle can? Any recommendations? Thanks

Depends. What finish is on the box? If it's the wrinkle finish your pretty much SOL. You may be able to find a close match to the hammertone boxes

This is a good question. I have to think prepping the box would be key. Plus the right type of paint....hmmm...interested in the answer.

Yes, wrinkle finish. You can get the same texture by using the vht wrinkle paint that comes in black as a primer and then just applying the correct color over it.

If it is any help, I did some experimenting with that later hammered green colour used by S-K. See post #11 here.

I've redone a couple of SK boxes. Impossible to get the exact color, but, these two are not bad.

I have a thread from last year I think that shows the different boxes I did. I'll see if I can find the link.
