Several member have asked about mixing custom colors and who does it. Since I work next door to an Ace Hardware store, I thought I'd see what they had to say. Their answer was they can mix anything that has a tintable base. The Ace Stop Rust paint is available with a tintable base, and they showed me a color chart with about 20 different colors they can mix. They can also mix in three different sizes, pints, quarts, and gallons.

My question is, how much paint will I need to do my 86 1/2ton Ram?



Depends......color changes will obviously need more and your degree of thinning the paint will be a factor also.

I used 3 quarts on my Ramcharger but had to cover existing black paint. When it was hot and it had to be highly thinned, I could do the whole truck with about 4 ounces but coverage was more like a tint. Straight out of the can, the Ramcharger took
about 16-20 ounces.
