[CBQ] Re: Color Match - Grays for diesel hoods

["Tim" <twells1983@kellogg.northwestern.edu>]

Has anyone lately worked with Scalecoat for diesel grays?  I cannot find any of 
the three below listed grays on the Scalecoat website.  Several years back, I 
was mixing MOW gray half and half with another darker gray, but I forget which 
one and I have lost my notes in a recent move.

Thanks,
Tim Wells
