Well Ross the gun was acting weird ( thats technical talk for sputtering) and I was to lazy to tape a piece of masking paper to the door as I usually do for setting the fan pattern .

That is about the shade I will be repainting my '49 F2 in. Was Meadow Green originally, but Dad didn't like it, so he repainted a dark green. That was some 40 plus years ago, and the paint has, to put it nicely, failed. The truck is now a mottled rusty green.
This past weekend, I took out the rear window and cleaned up the flange in preparation for the new window I am having cut tomorrow. Deciding that I did not want to have it just primered, I took a gamble and bought a can of Rust-Oleum Hunter Green to try to match what is left of the old paint. I'll be damned, but the match is spot-on. The plan is now, that I will have the paint mixed to match Hunter Green when I get ready to strip and paint the truck (right now, I am just installing glass and seals to stop leaks, as the truck sits outside, and I am currently enjoying driving it back and forth to work).
