Which color green for my jon?

I've been had before in the past where the color 'on' the can didn't begin to match the color 'in' the can. Where can I find jon boat pictures that have been repainted with the name and color of the paint stated? I don't want to guess and hope.

Thank you.

Bob

Bob, I found this boat on my C/L and went to look at it.
the guy did an awesome job prepping and painting his boat.
I asked what paint he used and he said Duralux aluminum boat green. @ $40 a quart.

So, I guess it boils down to what you will pay for the quality and consistency that you expect.

No?

:shock: OW ! that hurt

Google search the brand and color of paint and see what comes up. Also have to remember that what your screen displays may not be the same in real life.

Thanks for the link, John. That's exactly what I was asking for. Pictures of a boat along with the brand name and color of the paint used. Now I know approximately what 'aluminum boat green' by Duralux looks like and it's not the color green I'm after. So I can take that particular product off my list. Thank you.

I'd like to find more of a brownish green if I can. The paint that Cabelas is selling (By Parker) looks interesting (for duck boats). I think it's called 'hunter green'. It would be interesting seeing a picture of a boat that's been painted with that or others. I did a search and didn't come up with much. Maybe someone else with better searching skills than I can find some pictures.

Much appreciated!

Run by any paint store (Sherwin Williams, Ben Moore, etc) and take a look at the color rack. Pick out what you like and have it mixed in oil based.

Bob today is your lucky day. I just painted my boat in parkers hunter green. I'll try and get a picture some time for you.

Now, SumDumGuy's color choice gets a hearty "second!" by me. That will surely get you noticed, and keep you from getting run over at night.

Nice looking boat-nice looking paint job.

Here's a pretty good pic. of what the dead grass green looks like.

The dead grass looks nice.

Here is a mix of rustoleum:
1 pint rusty metal primer
1 quart hunter green

Don't get the Parker paint from cabelas if you go that route, don't know about shipping but straight from Parker it's like 20 bucks cheaper.

I used the duralux aluminum boat paint.

Thanks for the pics. This is exactly what I am painting my boat with. Same brand and paint. Did you spray it?? I plan on spraying mine with a Wagner HVLP. Looks great.

Thanks. Yeah I sprayed it on.
