SEE/HMMH CARC paint

[burquedoka]

Hey guys, has anyone successfully matched their SEE or HMMH CARC paint with Rapco's spray touch up cans? Which of their colors works best for my green FLU? Previous owner got a little crazy with some black spray paint.
would it be the 383 CARC green substitute?

Both my SEEs came out of USAF units, and the 383 CARC is a match. Hope that helps

I got a case of Rapco paints a while back, including two green variants. Tried the tan yesterday, and it matched well.
If the weather holds up I can try which green would be the closest. It would also depend on how faded your paint is, but as I recall, it's in good shape.
But if you pull a General Hood and wax it afterwards, the match may not be that critical.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. FLU, I'd be curious what you find out with your two cans there.....

The green paint code is 34094, the brown is 30051.

I will have to look at home, but I have used the Rapco CARC spray cans for Tan, Green, and Brown and it is essentially impossible to tell what I sprayed from a can and from a gun. My wheels were the exception (for the tan), but I believe that is due to the heat from the hubs/brakes caused the tan color to be slightly darker on the wheel than what I sprayed on with the can. The rest of the truck, you cannot tell what I have "touched up" and what was from the gun.

The green paint code is 36094, the brown is 30051.

Cheers

would that be 34094, instead of 36094? Just checking.....

Yep....another "proofread your work before hitting send" failure.....
My fingers don't always type what my brain thinks it is telling them.

Duly corrected

Cheers

I used the 383 Green CARC with an airless sprayer on this SEE

I didn't know you got the tools, too...or why is there a shiny lock on the tool boxes?!? Is the general 'hood that bad?

Awesome, thanks everyone. A box of 3 can ordered. I'll post some pictures of the new HMMH soon.
