My wife's oriental thingies made from cement started looking a bit grungy. So I go to Ace Hardware to buy something close in a off white cream style spray. Got it,
Ace Premium - Navajo White looked as close as I could get.
Then it dawns on me how close that is to the Cub Paint that I just spent about $ 15.00 a pop.
I go get the gas tank that I just sprayed last week & compare. I CANNOT tell the difference.
So I call the wife out to compare, cause NOTHING gets past her. She can't tell the difference.
So I get some small pieces that have been primed & ready to be painted. I paint 2 with the Ace paint & 1 with the Cub paint. Let them dry & get the wife out to do another comparison. She starts looking at the pieces & says that there are 2 that seem to have a bit more shine to them.
As a end result & $ 3.89 a can its a close a match as one could get.
I know one can't tell by looking at a picture but I defy anyone to tell me which piece was painted with which paint. Like I said 2 of the pieces seem to have been waxed & polished if held up & viewed from the side.
Go for it;
Nik,
