do you mean LUNAR Green ?

what type of paint do you want - laquer, SS - base ?

I believe this to be correct

PPG Paint Code, 43577;
NAPA mix number: 99-1721 00(L)

WELL,I GOT A PAINT GUN FROM HARBOR FRIEGHT,HEARD THEY WORK OK,I GOT A NICE NEW COMPRESSOR FROM LOWES,30 GALLON JOB,PLANNED ON GETTIN AN INLINE DRYER

[rubberrodder]

the inline drier is a must as far as my opinion. I put mine in between the hose end and the coupler. Not between the coupler and the gun. I had dry air out of the gun,but, I had water drip out of the coupler! Water in your paint sucks!

What kind of spray gun did you buy ? HVLP. What size tip is on it ? Ive got a HVLP with a 1.4 tip and it works great, Had a 2.5 tip on another gun but it put out paint so fast it was easy to get runs if you didnt paint at a fast pase.

These guys sell the paint as well. I've bought some Calypso Coral from them.

I recommend single stage urethane, it's easy to spray and more durable than multi-stage paints. Any reputable paint store can mix you up some.
