    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Don't remember, I had enough trouble just trying to finish the burger. Didn't want any of it to go to waste!

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    It's a burger restaurant, originally in San Diego, next to a high end establishment. They do burgers right! Do an internet search on it.

    I don't remember anyone doing that. It's a house paint, not really suitable for engine temps. BTW, is the Boll Weevil still going?

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    No, they are military official colors. During WWII Olive Drab came in at least 8 different paint colors and almost as many different canvas(cloth) colors, mainly because different companies were making them, they had different 'formulas', and some materials needed for the exact tint were not...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I think just about ALL of the stores selling paint CAN do the lookup, the employees have not been trained (or don't care) to do it. In my case I had printed off a two page list of 'common' colors in the FSS/US Government list (IE School Bus Yellow) and helped them find the listings under...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Ask them to pull up 'competitive paints', if they can have them scroll down several (maybe 5 or 6) pages to look for "FSS", if it's there, select it and it should bring up a screen with two fields in it. The second field is the 'number', like 24087, which is a semi gloss green shade. There is...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Problem with the custom color match is that you need to have the exact same 'base' mix to get the same color at a different store. When you have the Federal Supply Standard (FSS) paint code number where the first digit stand for the finish (1-glossy, 2-semi-gloss, 3-flat), the second is base...

    I've used that combination in the cargo bed of my deuce. The Behr has flaked off a bit, but the Rustoleum seems to be holding it's own. Still 90+ percent green. YMMV.

    I have painted the inside of my bed with the BEHR paint. It will scrape off when the cargo is dirty, or gritty and drug over the bed. But, I have a coat of Rustoleum Rusty Red Primer underneath that and so far it has not had any more rust. If you were to take a picture of the bed from 20 feet...

    FSS 24084 is the semi gloss version, if it were flat it would be 34084. Tell the people at Home Depot to look up "Competitive paints", scroll down to find "FSS" (Federal Supply Service), select it, then in the number part have them enter '24084' and press enter. Then tell them how many gallons...

    ZOUT, You hit the nail on the head! Go in with the attitude of teaching them something that they can use to help others with and they are much more receptive. I know 'school bus yellow' was mentioned on my first foray (and since I had the list printed out and it was on the first sheet, the...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    When they get to the screen to put in the color (in the FSS section), there are two areas to be filled in, the first is the name, the second is the number. In the number part only put in the five digit number, nothing else. And, if they do, as MWMULES said, within 10 seconds the correct colors...

    I've posted the information in at least two other threads - do a Google search on "Federal Standard 595" and find the listing for milspeccoatings. It's all there!
