RayburnGuy Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Does anyone know where I can find a paint that is as close to "pumpkin" as what Smith Wildlife Colors has on the link below. Their shipping costs seem wayyyyyyyy out of line to me. The shipping cost on a few bottles of paint was over $20. thanks, Rg http://www.smithpaints.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwhittler Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Try TCP Global. They should have what you want. Hope this helps. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePaintsBaits Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hey Ben If you mix: Red / Orange / Yellow , you can get the color your looking for, you will have to play around with it......Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL Rods Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) So many colors and deviations. If you have Sand/Khaki you might want to try a touch of that with your orange/yellow mix. Also have you looked at a Yellow Ochre and say Sunrise Yellow or Canary Yellow and Orange mix? Yellow Ochre is a fabulous color by itself or for blending with transparents. Now mind you I am color blind Edited November 5, 2009 by 76gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't like the hassle of mixing custom colors but if there's one I know I'll use multiple times, I do a small bottle of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Remember that the original green pumpkin was a mistake, when watermelon and pumpkin were mixed together. Apple Barrel mossy green, with dark brown added drop by drop, will get you close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Rg, Did you check any of the retailer's rather than just the manufacturer's? Or is it because you are wanting the laquer (hazmat shipping) rather than water-based. You can check shipping of: http://www.mckenziesp.com/WCO3004-P12974.aspx or http://www.taxidermy.com/cat/05/WCorange.html Hope this helps!

RayburnGuy Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Pretty sure I'm through mixing colors. Ended up wasting about 4 oz. of paint yesterday. I didn't even think to check the retailers for the wildlife colors or see what their shipping rates were. Thanks Clemmy, I'll give that a try.
