My paternal grampa had a liking for birch trees. 

I share that with him.  

Trina was concocting a decoration with that in mind and needed a sq ft number...

 

[ebinmaine 67,487]

I kinda reversed the order but here's what Trina started with today...

@ebinmaine  while TRINA   is doing over that dash area , good opportunity to firm up that pto lever  start area , use Teflon / plastic washers as well as metal and lubricant , at the start point on that battery ground rail , makes for a solid smooth swing , pete

II drew plans and measured up houses and buildings for 50 years. Carpenters don't use them much any more but for heights an 8 ft. folding rule will get most of them a 6 ft. will get most houses.

Ladies and Gentlemen, looking for a consensus on the correct color on a 3,4, and 500 series paint for the dash tower, console ,front nose and engine/ tins. Are we talking satin, flat, matte or semi-gloss black.Yes Craig would like your input on this as well.   The paint department in Hiram Me is hot on my trail.    @ebinmaine       Thanks

I prefer satin for my Black Hoods… slightly different but nonetheless worthy comparison.

 

[Handy Don 12,217]

Satin trim on my 300 and 500 series hoodstand panels. Glossy on other black stuff and, of course, the red.

What brand and color?

[AMC RULES 37,130]

No two are alike.

Suggesting you you try a few different brands before you commit to laying down paint.

Also will you be using a final clear coat on these items?

Personally, I am partial to the matte finish and a final clear coat for durability.

I'm a Rustoleum oil-base rattle can guy. Rusty metal primer. Don't recall the black color.

On the non gloss areas, Is the clear coat a matte or semi gloss as well?

 

The clear will change the sheen, correct?

Very cool. Thank you. I had Rust-Oleum 2x on the brain.

 

 

@JCM

Jim here's another color reference for you.....

[Lee1977 6,659]

No clear on top of the Satin Black.

You ever try Dupli Color brand?

Now there's a name I haven't heard in quite a while. Used to sell that when I was younger and I did use it maybe 20-25 years ago.

It was good stuff. Thank you for the reminder.

It's my go-to brand. I get it at NAPA and O'Reilly's. O'Reilly's is cheaper

@JCM

If you don't have an O'Reilly's near you, let me know. There's a couple near my work.
