Painting issues
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 7:47 PM
Hey All,

So I have been working on my SdKfz 223 lately. Finally I might add. Anyways, I had run out of Panzer Gray spray paint. So naturally, I bought some more. Now here is where things get interesting. Of course the can I bought turns out to be a completely different shade than what was already painted. I checked the name several times. I have spray painted it twice already. Now it has like 4 different coats of Panzer Gray on it. I am starting to pull my hair out. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this happened or what to do. Thanks. I will also post in the Armor forum.

MACooke posted a thread here a few months ago along the same lines. He compared bottles of the same paint but from different lots and they were radically different in shade. Apparently it's not that uncommon. To avoid that problem last weekend when I got two bottles of Light Ghost Gray I mixed them together. Not an easy thing to do with spray cans though.

I too had this happen to me some time ago while spraying my F1 Honda Alaskan White. The second can i used gave a different shade. I learnt from that mistake to always check the batch code number on the second can to make sure it matches the one previously used.

Thanks guys. Yeah I too have learned a lesson from this. Always make sure you have enough paint on hand to complete the job.
