Does this Med Olive look correct?
Had a test panel shot with Chromabase med olive. Does this look to be correct. I know its in the booth with no sunlight but figured someone could tell me if it was close. It did look pretty nice with a sun gun

Re: Does this Med Olive look correct?
Looks a little yellow..But then not sure if the fluorescent light is making it looking that way. However it sure looks nice..Here is a pic of my medium olive, granted that is is a much older paint job...

Re: Does this Med Olive look correct?
Do you have an old sample panel or paint chip to check by? I had a hard time getting the medium olive right last year. After three tries with the code I had it custom matched and mixed off the inside of the glove box door. I also had more than one paint store tell me the old single stage paint formulas do not produce the correct color with a lot of today's paints, especially the two stage paints.

Re: Does this Med Olive look correct?
It is so close and you're getting the whole truck painted, it'll be fine I believe. It is hard to tell indoors, as you mention, I'd haul it outside and take another pic.

Re: Does this Med Olive look correct?
I'm gonna go by the painter tomorrow hopefully the sun is ok so I can really see the paint. I had nothing to match it to since everything was already in primer.
