Mentioned by another poster — I found Rustoleum “Coastal Gray” Satin was a good match on one of my projects!

Great Resource, thank you!
One concern about scanning a paint sample
to match --
I have noticed a distinct change in hue over the years.
The metal panel under the sink/stove tends
to turn 'yellowish' 'brownish' vs. the cool grey formica.
Any original photography/advertising of
1987 - 1991 may provide insight of the
factory color before it aged.
Did the sink panel match the rest of the trim,
or was it a warmer tone of grey from the start? |

Matched the trim & stove knobs, for the most part.

Drew, I'm surprised you didn't include the leader in the poll for this thread:
Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch, STONE GREY - SATIN
Not available, or you didn't like it, or... ?

Hey that's funny. I'll add it. To avoid confusion, I will yank these results until I can get Stone Grey Satin in there and then put it up again. It is confusing enough already without having to have people be exposed to this stuff twice. If anybody else has a store-bought spray paint grey color they think should be in here, but isn't, indicate that color now so maybe it can also be included. So far, Olympic contestants included only these:
Coastal Grey Rustoleum
Seymour Hi-Tech Dove Grey 16-112
Satin Granite Rustoleum
Majic M-F Grey 8-22955-8
Majic Light Ford Grey 8-22967 052752296781
Gloss Dark Grey Rustoleum 249115
Smoke Grey Rustoleum
Pewter Grey Rustoleum
SEM Opel Grey 15803 Flexible
Leather Vinyl Plastic VLP Dove Grey
Dark Machine Grey Rustoleum
Leather Carpet 65-601 Grey*
SEM Lt Grey 17123 Flexible*
SEM Warm Grey 15183 Flexible Vinyl*
Winter Grey Gloss Rustoleum*
Go Westy RAL 7037 Dusty Grey GVW-INT-Paint-Vano-GR* |

“A final note about the spray paints chosen for this test... you will notice more Rustoleum paints in here than Krylon paints…”
Perhaps Rustoleum is now a major shareholder in Westfalia-Werke… :roll: |
