 | | Baseplate Stripe Color Match
|
|
Does anyone know of a paint brand/color (or formula) that matches the green used for the stripes on the grey baseplates? (I discovered the wrong way to clean baseplates, and need to restore the stripes on one.) Thanks, Erik (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) lol, what'd you do, paint remover!? I find Goo Gone to work good on cleaning. well, i'm sorry i've never tested the green, i'd tryed the grey once, but never really got it. Josh (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I only used soap and water. Apparently, the soap was strong enough to remove parts of the stripe (and/or the cloth I used was too rough.) Does Goo Gone affect the paint at all? Erik (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)

Just take an undamaged baseplate down to the paint department of your local home improvement superstore and have them put it under the color-match scanner. Their computer will calculate the formula, and they can mix the quantity you need. You do (...) (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) well, it will affect WET paint, but other then that, no. I've used it many times, its also great for getting stickers off the bricks with out leaving a mark. You should be able to find it at Wal*mart, or even craft stores... Josh (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.town)
