Hi
Semi Gloss OD will age from any manufacturer if you leave it out in the
sun. If you want it so stay new looking it has to be inside or covered.
Gilespie is a good p aint.

Subject: [MV] 595B color specs
Many of us have been to this site as Brian has mentioned with his
attached link. Thanks Brian for the ones who have not known about this
previously.
The problem is that even a name brand like DuPont has a problem with
some of the older colors.
Not everyone can magically pull this color up in their computer like
they should be able to do.
I've been fighting with my local dealer to match 24087 and 23070 for
weeks of and on.
I suppose the best way to match a color exactly is to have the authentic
sample and have them zap it with their $70,000 gun to have it create
it's own mix formula.
They say that the colors are too old. My thought is that the Spec is
still the spec. So what does it matter how old the color is? If it is
a federal standard is should still be able to be pulled up and mixed.
Does anyone have experience with Gillespie 24087 sitting outside in
bright southern areas? I'm curious as to how long it will hold up in
the bright sunny climates of the southern part of the US.
My 2 cents.
Jim Z.
