G179 Diablo Red
G72 Scarlet
R215 Gold Brown
Z6122 Dark Extra Gold Pink
R41 Dark Blue
R43 Steel Blue
R50 Reddish Dark Violet
R6 Salmon PinkMike Jackson’s notes and observations:
Of the two sizes, #1 seems to be the better size. #2 would require a heavier paint application and might be a little too course for many signs. I am fairly sure #0 would be great for sand smalts, but I didn’t ask for any of it.Of the colors I requested, I REALLY like this group:
R-192 : Iris Night Blue; very close to Brilliant Blue enamel
R-92 : Night Blue; very close to Navy Blue (very dark).
Z-802 : Olive Green; rich, dark green.
Z-801 : Dark Emerald Green; teal, very close to blue green enamel, but maybe a little more blue.Of the colors I requested, these two are nice for the right job:
R-125 : Ox Blood; deep terra cotta. I was hoping for a maroon color. This is a little more milky in appearance. The exmple at the top is Ox Blood.
R-126 : Pastel Opal; this one looks like it has some of #R-125 mixed in with a little frit with a more red color. |
