Has anyone tried the Rustoleum "Painter's Touch Kona Brown" as a
substitute for the Johnson Maroon? It's glossy, but that's ok.
The GM 7191 which I used on the cabinet last time seems to be
manufacture discontinued and another GM color by Duplicolor isn't
stocked by my local auto parts stores.
Another color which was recommended is Testors #1631 Burgundy Metal
Flake. This can be ordered from Testors.
I bought a can of the Kona Brown at Home Depot and it's close, but not
what I'd call a "perfect match" which was claimed for it elsewhere. It
seems a little lighter than the original maroon on my Ranger front
panel. Of course, I tested it by spraying a paint stirring stick and I
suppose it could look different over the correct primer.
I'm not interested in buying a spray gun and having the paint mixed.
I've had good results using spray cans in the past and would prefer to
continue that way.
