I found various posts that say these are the colors for Stargate...

Base Coat Red =857-3 (Scarlet Fire).
Yellow = 200A-6 (Susan).
Black = Standard Semi-Gloss Interior Latex.

I had Lowes mix them in Varspar semi-gloss and I sprayed a few coats of the red, but it seems to have a bit of a purple tint to it. Has anyone else personally used these colors before? I always though Stargate was a fire engine red that was more orange if anything. Maybe Lowes messed up??

Any advice?

Thanks. Right after I posted this, I decided to cut my losses and go with a current color. I say "current" because those Lowes colors are from an older color line that they don't even have chips for anymore. You're really at the mercy of whatever they mix.

In the end, I went Ben Moore - Carnival Red in Impervex. Looks great.
