makokeith Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I want to get two colors but have to order them. I want to stay with protec. When you look at the color yellow it looks orange. Does anyone know if it cooks yellow or not. Also want olive but they dont have that color so does anyone know if they have an olive color? My local supply does not have these in stock and I don't trust the internets color charts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Some of the darker yellows will look orange in the container . Mix your own olive just go on line and down load a color mixing palette . Then you can mix a lot of colors from the base colors . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I don't use any Pro-tec color powder paints other than their Watermelon and green pumpkin. This is about as good to olive as you are going to get. Can't help you with yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Since you are on this subject ... who sells Chartruse (green side) besides ProTech ?? Tiger Drylac does, but they aren't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ING Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Since you are on this subject ... who sells Chartruse (green side) besides ProTech ?? Check Eastwood Co. They have a lot of PP colors for cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1976 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Protect yellow is really nice. harborfreigh isn't bad I would say it has a a tad of orange to it but at five dollars a pound its hard to argue. I really like Columbia for powder paints also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Watermelon is close to olive, the green pumpkin is too dark. As for the yellow, if it is too dark, meaning it looks like it is almost orange, try adding some white or paint the yellow over a white base, that will lighten it up a bit.

psv Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 makokeith, Not sure about Olive color. Protec Yellow will stay yellow after baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfart9999 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Did you try Powder By the Pound? They have a bunch of shades of colors in their RAL line and the price is right.
