EPMDfan Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Was that green so flashy? Which color, which brand?!? More then likely that's Jungle Green Krylon... IMO the best color they ever produced!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed_Eastwood Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 now that im looking at it again, that looks more like jungle around the web - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreOne Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 it prob is jungle .. fyi when i cleaned the photos up and sharpened them .. the color may be a little more vibrant than normal .. also looks like they added more photos to the folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed_Eastwood Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 confirmed: Federal safety green....Rusto. im no expert or nothin, but from what i remember jungle was a great color, but really thin. it would take more than jungle green to cover up all those black marsh tags on the IRTs. a fillin that durable and solid HAS to be rusto - no question. even back then krylon just couldnt cut it.

Yeah, Jungle Green is one of my favorite Krylon colors ever made, but i completelly agree with you on how thin it is. It would sometimes take a nice 2 coats on a wall to look somewhat solid. I can imagine how many times guys had to coat it when they used to paint trains, and had to go over rusto black, and marker tags. I remember Ven telling me that he would only throw some Krylon designs over a fill in of Rusto because Krylon just couldn't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed Safety Green is the color in those 2 HIMS and WANE Panels. I would put that money back in your pocket if I was you. The color in those pictures are very off. That is Jungle Green around the Web and background behind the Ven is Fed Green. You cats are all over the Jungle Green but it's all about the Cascade Green in the Ven piece. That was the hottest and rarest color on the car at the time this was painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreOne Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is a shot in the dark..I was wondering if any on you ever heard of these cats. I dont know much ,It looks like is says TBB crew the names appear to be Dea Opel? ..anyways this crew did some storefronts and walls in philly in the early 80s they were clearly more advanced than all but a handful of philly writers. i assumed they were from Ny ?

The colors when it was "touched up" are too bright and off... As stated above that is Fed Safety Green behind the Ven piece and the color around the Web is actually Utilac Parrot Green(as per Web... ;))... Is that Cascade in the Ven fill or around it? I would have never guessed,that's how far off the colors are in this "touch up". I still have a can of that Speedy Dry Lime Green. Amazing color. Too bad they never made those in the 12, or 13 oz cans back then. I agree!!! Jungle is my favorite color of all time but if they made that Lime Green Speedy Dry in a full size can that would be off the hook!!!! The Red Devil Lime Green was pretty dope!!!!
