[AJD] JD paint

Sun Aug 19 11:45:12 PDT 2012

PPG is great auto paint. It's what is on my Mustang--Ivy Green, by the way. It's expensive, but they can match just about any color in the spectrum. I'd bet their JD green is spot on. 

I've used rattle cans of rustoleum JD green. No blueness yet and I'm in the land of plenty of sun. I picked mine up at Lowes.
