Don,
What color paint is that on the transmission and frame? It looks like the color I am looking for to paint my car.

Barb,
Yep you are brave....I haven't talked the hubby into the painting yet, but he did let me use the cutoff saw and the air recip saw to cut a panel out!!

Angie: It's a custom-mix that nobody else in the world knows but me!!! (Don't you hate people who guard their colors like nobody else can ever find them??)

No, it's Fusion Orange, a (I think) 2005 Hummer color. I know it is Hummer, just not sure of the year, but the paint shop can tell you for sure. It comes in either basecoat/clearcoat, or catalyzed enamel. When I first sprayed it I wasn't sure, but I've gotten so many positive comments on it. Some people say it is copper, or gold, but they call it orange for some reason.

At least it's not pink..............

It would have to be distilled water to be perfectly safe to test spray with.. the problem arrises when minerals build up in the passages.. it is best to use mineral spirits paint thinner, the most that will do is clean the gun out
