Yes I used Ace Hardware Rust Stop..."Hunter Green" bar code 17087
I applied 4 coats of the green roughed up between coats. That was applied over 3 coats of primer.
I need all the help I can get..

Yup! It will hang from the ceiling in my workshop along with some others.
The ceiling space is all that's left in my shop...to much junk! 
I need to get with you on making some visors...

I bet that color will look good, although I've never used it.

Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

I like the darker greens also. The GE beacon I'm working on was original gloss dark hunter green. I had CarQuest to computer match the paint so it will be painted back as original as possible!
Different strokes for different folkes, but I always like original when possible.
