Hello,
I'm in the process of re-doing the sides of a Moon Patrol and need info on MP paint. I found the color codes on Game Stencils site and it indicated it was mixed at Home D, however the base color is not indicated. Has anyone gotten MP colors mixed at Home D that could help me out with the base color type?
Thanks,

Send a PM to KLOV'er "Zork40". He did a really nice Moon Patrol restoration and his blog mentions getting the paint from Home Depot. Here's a link to his restoration:

KLOV'er "WadeLanham" did a nice restoration as well, but I recall him saying something about not being totally happy with paint (I *think* he said the blue was too dark).

Be careful, the colors on the web are for a 1 gallon mix. I tried several times and have yet to get it right for a touchup. It was close enough if I was trying to completely redo the side, but the colors are off if you are just trying to touch it up.

I have one last mix to try for the background blue and then I'm done trying. I took a picture in and had them scan it and the colors came up as pretty close to the colors you get when you cut the 1 gallon by 4 to make up a quart.
