    Hi guys

    I’m painting a ‘74 Westy in pastel white, when I last ordered L90d from my paint supplier using pro spray mixing system the colour match wasn’t too good, has anyone had a good match in a solid 2k and what mixing system was used?

    Many thanks. Mark
     
  2. Was it too cream?

  3. ^this. There appear to be two Pastel Whites. The later one is too creamy. Sure they mixed to L90D code?

    Definitely L90d and yes, it was too creamy.
     
  5. There are two mixing shades you might need the greeny shade. But bear in mind if you are trying to match existing paintwork Pastel white does fade.

  6. Maybe check with them to see if they do two shades, early and late. You'd need the early. Luck of the draw I think: I've had both Rustoleum and aerosols mixed to the L90D code, and they've always been correct. The cans of Pastel White I got from Halford years ago weren't.
     
  7. The cheaper commercial one from Autopaints St Helens is the lighter one, its about £80 for 5 litres 2k
