Thread: Limestone Paint Codes

Can't help with the paint code I'm afraid, but I do have a question.

When you say 'local paint supplier', are you talking a automotive paint specialist, a hardware paint shop or somewhere like Mitre10/Bunnings?

And what type of paint are you using as a base - oil based enamel?

So I've actually got 3 questions.
Final one - how are you planning to apply it?

Cheers
Duncan

Hey Duncan,

The paint supplier is a local supplier of industrial and automotive paints. Seems to know his stuff. Yes, oil-based enamel. I'll be spraying it in my carport (must remind the neighbours to move their car.....)

I had my wheels powdercoated and used the colour Magnolia. Its very very close. Admittedly its a bit hard to tell from the photo because every panel appears to be a different colour.

Thanks, Slunnie.

It sure is a mighty purty colour. I actually had planned to do the whole vehicle Limestone a long time ago, but became steadily more fundamentalist in my tendencies to go Bronze Green.

As far as I know, the Limestone is the right colour for hardtops and wheels of my (well, actually my Landy's) vintage. Unless anybody tells me otherwise here, I'll be painting the wheels this weekend, weather-permitting.

Does anyone know of a 'close enough' Limestone colour available off the shelf in spray cans, like Killrust, for small jobs?

Hi Roger,

Someone on this forum mentioned White Knight Classic Cream epoxy enamel. I have a can that I haven't tried yet, and I have never seen Limestone 'in the steel' up close, so not sure how closely it matches. It looks pretty good on the can lid though.

I would have thought (from experience with other "classic cream" colors) it would be too yellow. There was a Mitsubishi manga color called limestone in the late 80's/early 90's.

The Paint Place in Raymond Terrace NSW mixed me a batch of the yellowy LR Limestone off records on his computer.. I used it to paint the ute cab on my IIA. It took him a few minutes to mix it up. I can't remember which code I'm sorry.
