tan paint came out too yellow?

[firefirefire90]

Hello all. I went ahead and first started painting my truck with the krylon camouflage khaki and also tested sand and didn't really think either matched the CARC 686 paint, so I went ahead and tried out the Behr formula. I'm not sure what to think of my results. At one angle(the side) I think it looks just right, but then I look at the back of the truck and it looks very yellow. Will this change during the curing process? Any information/opinions are appreciated. In the pictures you can see the bumper is still painted in the krylon khaki vs the behr paint.

This is the forumla I used

Dan Martin & Alex Gordon (Idaho Motor Pool) formula for Desert Tan

Home Depot - Base = BEHR Ultra Flat Base Pastel Base (4855/2-4855)

Colorant............ OZ... 48... 96
C-Yellow Oxide... 5..... 17.... 0
E-Thalo Blue....... 0..... 43 ... 1
F-Red Oxide....... 0 ......16.... 0

thank you

I think it looks good. You did a great job applying it. Are you going to use a Sealer of any kind?

Formula looks good.

Color looks right on the money. None of the Krylon colors are mil-spec matches from what I can tell.

It was mentioned in another thread that the OD green goes on a brighter than expected color but darkens and flattens out when it cures. Maybe this will happen with the tan. Give it while to cure then let us know what it does.

(It does look good in the pics now though)

ah okay thanks fellas. Glad to know it looks alright. I left the truck out and the fog did a number on the paint. Left streaks all on the sides. What a shame. Put the truck inside and hopefully another coat will help it out!

Any updates on what spray paint best matches the 686 tan? I am going to touch up my MEP-002A and would like to see if I can get a can of krylon or rustoleum tan paint to best match the 686 paint. My main reason for the touch up is to get rid of the writing they painted on the side of the generator like “all fluids drained” and other writing. I think I can gently spray it on and try to blend it with the other colors.

I've used the Krylon and Rustoleum sand colors on my Deuce. They are a little darker than what is on the truck, but it sat in the sun in Jax for almost 4 years so was expected.

and your truck was 686 tan when you got it? Do you prefer one over the other? When I looked online it seemed like the khaki paint seemes to be a better match? I am just wondering if somebody thought one was better than another. Having the sun fade the paint makes a big difference and would be hard to match. It looks like the sand is darker than the khaki paint.

I'm guessing it's 686. The khaki seemed too dark. I've used mostly rustoleum tan to touch up the exhaust after the muffler install, and a few other spots. Matches pretty well. That's it in my avatar.

Edit, I stand corrected. The color on the can is SAND. Part number 263653 of their specialty Camouflage line of paints.
