That looks like a fun project.

Another vote for Alice Cooper blue with a little extra metal flake thrown in!

Beautiful set John.

Check your pm's Jeff!

I believe that Stedi owns an Alice Cooper Blue Camco kit. If Stedi can take one the drums to a local paint shop, they can read the color mix with a sensor. The computer will produce a set of mix numbers/ratios that you can take to a nearby paint shop and they will be able to reproduce the color for you locally.

If Camco was anything like Ludwig, or Gretsch, they probably used surplus auto paint on their drums! Check the DuPont Auto color charts to see if you can find a match there. It had to have been made and supplied by one of the large auto paint manufacturers. Either way, through getting a reading on the color from a drum, or by finding it on the DuPont color chart, it shouldn't be terribly hard to track down. Maybe Steve/Dolfan knows something about what paint was used by Camco.

I hope you do it! That Hayman kit will look killer in Alice Cooper Blue!

Randy - Not mine brother! I have a set of Oaklawn Camco's but they are in a wrap that I chose.

I dont do automotive paints. The stuff I use is a pigmented lacquer, so in order to make that color they would have to have a drum to match it to. If it is a metal flake finish then this conversation is over. If it is a solid color then I would need either an actual drum or a color sample to match it. If a Sherwin Williams color matched it then we would be good to go.

Hey lazybones! Here it is: Sherwin/Williams color: Impromptu - SW 6955 - Interior

Dead match for the color. No excuses now! You've painted yourself into a corner! :p

John

This is how you get other people to do your work for you. I will investigate this, thanks!

Looks good to me, but I cant make the decision. I do like it though!

> I do like it though!

Dammit! Now you've got me thinking about doing a kit in this color! It is a beautiful color. I hope the owner likes it. I'd love to see how those Hayman's would turn out in ACB.

John

Well John your going to find out, he wants it. But lets call it SW-6955, not Alice Cooper Blue, just to be legal. Thanks for the help! Lazybones, lol!

But the original Alice Cooper Blue and white was definitely a metallic. You may get the colour but not effect. Hayman did a very classy wrap called Midnight Blue but it was a wrap - I can't recall ever having seen any with a lacquered finish.

Hayman had a wood veneer finish for a short time called "Natural Pine." Very rare, it had a light reddish brown tone similar to mahogany stains seen on other brands.
