I went to NAPA and they didn't know what Empire blue was so we matched a sample with a picture. After painting the tractor and visulizing the fenders, wheels and tires, I don't like my color. It turned out to light, my wife called it "pastel". I have more than enough paint to paint it again. My question is can I take back the remaining paint and have them give it a color additive that will give it a little darker blue effect.
My understanding is that most paints are supplied to the shop as a base colour. They tint it to make the colour you need using a vast list of standard brews, just as they do for house paint. If your supplier has tinted to match a picture they will be skilled enough to darken it up a bit for you.
Napa added some darker color so I was able to use what paint that I had leftover. Just have a few loose ends to tie up, such as bolting hood, wiring lights, grese fittings, mount seat, etc, but should finish tomorrow. I would post a pic but my son is busy [/img]
