I wasn't sure whether to post this in the garage thread... but decided to start a new thread.

Reading Roundel recently I was inspired to do a M colours project in the garage. I settled on a white pegboard from Home Depot!

Now came the fun part... the colours... after a ton of reasearch I found the below but was really no further along!

So after getting nowhere with the information to get a clolour match at Home Depot I resorted to screen shot of an M badge and printing it out!

So I started it last Saturday on a wet PA afternoon.... I though the Blue painters tape was a smart idea... but Sunday morning revealed that it wasn't.... ended up haven't to touch up a large area due to pealing... I then used a ceil cut line edger to create a straight line.

Finally I used a Polycrylic clear coat (2 applications) to harden the surface.

Then I left it to cure over the week and mounted it today!

Have the pegboard organizer kit ready to install, but I painted the screws so am waiting overnight!

The colour looks great against a flag I have (some will say it is off)!

I chose not to have an M car but I have been a fan since the late 80's, but it is not convenient for me right now.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the paint codes too

Thanks, the middle is more purple than some of the images I've seen but I have a flag and it matches up really well! I painted the area under it white this morning... overall I am pleased with the result.

No problem on the paint codes... seemed pointless to post without them!

FYI the only thing I would do differently is either buy an unpainted board or sanded it first... error on my part...

Thanks again!
