[Johnson] Ranger II paint colors

[Jim]

I would love to see photos when it is done. How will you re-label the front panel? Do you have a screen?

Subject: [Johnson] Ranger II paint colors

Hi all,

I have started a restoration on my Ranger II and Im not at all happy 
with the color match for the light color on the top section. Im 
wondering if anyone else has used Sherwin Williams color match to the 2 
colors on the face plate and if so do you have the formulas. My lower 
grayish section looks like it will be fine but my top section appears to 
be a bit too light gray and my Ranger II always seemed to have a very 
light bluish tint to it. We matched it to the original color behind the 
escutcheon plate and it looked darn good in the store. Im wondering if 
the lighting in the store was throwing things off. I took pictures of it 
and compared it to the pictures of my Ranger before I stripped it. Not 
close enough to make me happy so I plan on respraying the lighter bluish 
color. If I cant find anyone with the formulas I guess I will just have 
to take my pictures with me now back to the store and try to match it 
closer that way. I dont have a face plate with the original color now 
that I have stripped and repainted it. Thanks in advance.
