Color Green of Fulton Sun Shield underside?

[jvelde]

Does anyone know the actual name of the flat/dull green color on the underside of Fulton Sun Shields? Just got a visor that I am going to restore and install on '39 Buick and the underside needs repainting.

Thanks,

This color was suggusted on the Vintage Chevrolet Club forum.

Rustoleum American Accents Moss Green,satin finish.

On some other past forum, it was suggested that the color was an aircraft primer green. Other's agreed and said that that's what was used originally from the factory. It needs to be a flat color so there is no glare.

On the instructions it states that the underside "dull green finish has been baked on" and further "should remain green since this has been scientifically determined as the color which absorbs the maximum amount of light .....and greatest protection from sun glare". I am going to check with Sherwin-Williams auto paint store to see if they can match it in a flat product. Since there is enough of the color on the panels that was under the center section that is not faded, I suspect they can match it.

Thanks for the info on the primer, I will mention that as a option if they don't have something that appears correct.

You're most welcome, John. An accurate formula for this color in the appropriate mat finish would be a welcomed offering on almost every forum in the hobby. Good luck in your quest!
