Speedo and clock paint in spray cans!

[tstracy39]

I'm doing a little gauge restoration/customization and have come to the point of needing to match the paint colors that appear on the speedo and clock needles. I was planning on mixing up a small bit of alkyd enamel to do the job, but it turns out I might not need to. I went to the hardware store and the first two spray cans I tested out turned out to be very close to the original colors. They are:

Standard Rustoleum brand: "French Roast" spraypaint. Very close to the (Chestnut?) brown paint used to paint parts of the clock and speedo.

Standard Rustoleum Brand: "Almond" spraypaint. Very close to the off-white paint used to paint the needles and numbers etc.

These are both gloss paints, but can be matted out with a coat of Rustoleum Crystal Clear Matte Finish.

I promise to update with a few pictures once my parts are complete enough to start painting. I apologize in advance if it takes awhile.
