Solved the paint problem.

Went out, cut the grass. Picked up the fresh grass put into a container, 
added some thinner and oil and put all into my blender . . . . . . . .

Now heading out for those dandelion flowers ..........

Waiting for a reply and price quote from Van Sickle.

Thanks for all the responses.
