I mentioned monitor screens in my first post.

 

Gamma color correction is something that most monitors can not control and the differences between different monitors can be huge.

 

There's a reason that pro photographers use expensive monitors.

 

This is also the reason that one can not judge a color by looking at a monitor screen.

 

If you put a half dozen different monitors side by side and fed them the same signal you would see a half dozen different shades of the same color.

(not to mention the camera that took the photo!)

 

Not to mention settings.

 

I have the low end (dark colors) brightness turned up really high on my monitor for gaming. It allows me to see well in situations that are supposed to be pitch black in most games without a light, which provides advantages.

@Jrain Id appreciate if you would keep this thread updated with your test and final mixture. That Paints made about 4 hours from me. I haven’t heard of it before but have been looking for a good paint with hardener that’s a step up from Rustoleum.   While I spray most of my stuff with a gun. Do you know if they offer it in rattle canna. Sometimes it’s nice to have a rattle can for small parts. 

I do not think they offer there paint in a rattle can ,  there is a Military resto company that sells GCI military paint codes (colors)  and they offer it in a rattle can but they do the process themselves , that is the only source of GCI coatings in a rattle can that I know of , I will update you when I get to use the IH red they offer , I just finish a frame for a friends  ford F350 in a GCI Grey color that I mixed to have less luster to match  a  new aluminum flat bed that I set on the frame today , and I will be shooting a mason dump body for another friends Chevy K30 in a few days also . here is a few pictures of the frame , the backhoe in the back round I shot in GCI safety yellow 11 years ago. I top coat all my frames in GCI

Doubting you'll be disappointed.

 

But I was disappointed I just finished building a pull behind implement for My wheel horse last week and rattle canned it with that paint and that is what bought me here to this section to inquire about color .

The Rustoleum in quarts and gallons can be used with an enamel hardner that improves its drying time, hardness and sheen quite a bit. 
 

There’s probable nothing in rattle cans that even comes close to paint with hardener.

Agree I have used Rust-oleum in about every form they offer it just does not hold up as well as what I use ,even there high temp paints rattle or quarts does not hold up well , my choice for Hi temp paint is Thermo-lux  rattle or quart both are very long lasting.
