Touch Up Paint

I have a Boardwalk heifer that is colored like a Charolais.  I am having trouble finding a touchup paint to match.  The white is too white, the SmokeEm is too gray.  Any suggetions?  She has more of a yellowish tint.

I have had a few calves that have that same shade of color and I usually fit the leg and didn't worry about any paint.

If thats the calf in question, it looks more yellow than smoke to me. I would try Weavers "Fawn" with the white and maybe that would get you closer.

Yes, that's Lulu.  I'll order some Fawn today.
Thanks

I am pretty sure its fawn just make sure its the lightest they have. I cant remember all the names.

In my opinion fawn will be way too dark. We use it on our Herefords and she's no where near as red as them.

If she holds it back and only uses short squirts and not much it should work to take the glow of the white off.  It is at least a yellow and not smoke like she tried. I used it on a orange calf and I had to use a quit a bit to get it dark enough to match him. The red calf this year I use two colours mixed together to match him, cant remember the colours names, just play around with the white and fawn and I bet it will work.

Whatever you use to mix, use the light color first for the base coat and then use the darker color to add shades of color until the best match is made.  Experiment on some paper first before using when fitting.

And when you do start painting at a show, start on the non show side front leg. Even when you experiment on paper or the cement, when you actually get it in the calf it always looks a little different. The worst thing you can do is start on the show side rear leg and end up thinking wow I don't like how that looks at all and then you are sticking it out on your side profile and it could throw off the entire look of your calf.

How about taking it to sherwin williams for a match?  Would be priceless to see the look on a young chap's face behind the counter.

I agree with others make sure you try a small area first.
