Jerry,
Did you get an agreement with the Seacrest Green color? If so, what paint are you using? Just curious. I'm still sold on #22 Glasurit S/S...that stuff is like hardened power coating but it buffs out okay, if you apply it on properly. If you get orange peel...forget it...LoL!

Yes, I used a sample from Steve Alcala's #43 Sebring Alpine for the Seacrest Green (paint code 30). Matched it with PPG. PPG use to make a similar (#22 Glasurit) "rock hard" aircraft paint called Delta. I used Delta (matched with your Moonstone White sample - paint code 19) on the Promotional Le Mans that you can hit with a hammer (A story goes with this claim) and not mar or chip it. Very difficult to buff out after 72 hours. Until I discovered the value of Presta Gel Coat compound 2 years after applying the paint.
