Those are the ones I'm leaning towards. There's just so many choices!

Christopher, Orange and green are my favorite colors. I'm actually going to think on the tangerine!!

The "Sand"y color is going on the roof [emoji6]

WW --- good news is the auto paint centers will mix a little half-pint can of any color you want to try out for about 7-8 bucks (here anyway). Good to see it larger than a "chip". I have a couple of pieces of sheet metal I have tried out several colors on. And you can run it through one of those disposable "Preval" sprayers you can get at most hardware stores. Also handy for touch-up later.

Preval Spray System-0226 - The Home Depot
