Hunter green from Chrome Yellow?

[amelia clark]

I am in the process of painting batting helmets, 10 of them. They will be 2 toned yellow and dark green. I don't want to mask no more than I have to. Question: if I base coat the yellow HOK Chrome Yellow, what Kandy or Kandy base coat would I use to get a dark green. I am going for the Oakland A's color scheme.

Blue candy over yellow should go green but I don't think it will come close to being dark enough for you,you'll have to try it to see.

Use Organic green candy over the chrome yellow.
You'll get a nice vibrant green. The more coats, the darker the green.

I've read & heard this advice from Craig Fraiser. To darken the darker hues of Kandy, such as Organic green add a drop of black base coat to the KK. Always make sure you test it on something besides your project first to make sure you're on the right track. A slight addition of black won't change the hue of the darker kandys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sunglass.gif<font color="blue"> </font>

Ameilia,
You might want to just us to "solid" colors.
Spary the helmets white, then spray the yellow over white. Then mask off the are for the green and spray a solid green (non-candy).
YOu need to spray a white base under the yellow so the yellow will cover quickly. Then the green will cover the yellow in 1 to 2 coats.
Look at the PPG "Earth Wind" colors at your local auto body supply store. They have a couple brighter colors you could use.
