John Nyman Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 This is a continuation from a thread at the old site, but the long and short of it is that there isn't any Charleston Green paint available anywhere. I've got an early 20's 75423 brass bell brass blade loop handle that needs some color applied to it. Inside of the base shows that old green GE enamel which is super close to Charleston...but I can't find an analog color. I just shot it with a dark hunter green and it's waaaay too light so that's a bust. Has anyone seen anything recently that might be close enough or any place that has a stray can that's close to Virginia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilnapp Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Hi John. Happy New Year! I have a can of Charleston green I can spare. I have your address as 114 Jackson Avenue, Elkton, VA. Is that correct? I’ll send it out tomorrow by UPS my treat!

Dave McManaman Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Just a carryover from the old site, I contacted Rustoleum about a month ago regarding Charleston Green . Here was there response:Jamelia H (Rust-Oleum Product Support (US)) Dec 1, 2021, 12:20 PM CST Hello David,Thank you for contacting Rust-Oleum Product Support.

John Nyman Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 David K, thank you deeply for your offer....I have never taken kindness like this very easily, some sort of character flaw...is there some way that I can repay you for this kindness? I need, at the very least to pay for the shipping as I think it has to go ground delivery which may not be cheap. I will PM you shortly...if I can figure out how with the new site configuration.

David Kilnapp Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 John: I have been the recipient of much good will and generosity from so many that I am obligated at the very least to do this small thing. It's all boxed up and I'll get you UPS shipping tomorrow. How about a picture of the fan when you are done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Nyman Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Had to use the old site to send the PM, for some reason this new site does not recognize me as a member perhaps?...better pay my 2022 dues asap. David M thank you for the depressing update...oye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Nyman Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 David Kilnapp, you are a gentleman of the finest kind sir and I am glad to have made your acquaintance.

Malcolm MacGregor Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Well, i was going to start painting my Brass Bell today. However I see the Russ Huber post about dark Hunter green paint. I will look locally today. It would be nice to use another color other than black. John, pay your dues, I would like to PM you to send photos of how my project is going. And hoping you can do the same! Happy New Year ! Malcolm MacGregor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm MacGregor Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Well, my efforts paid off. I searched out the oldest hardware store here in the Treasure Coast of Florida and I found the Rustoleum Dark Hunter Green spray paint. So instead of painting my Brass Bell black, it will be Dark Hunter green. i appreciate the tip on this paint from Russ Huber.

Happy New to All Malcolm MacGregor Thanks for putting your faith in my post, But.......I simply posted another option used by others here in past posts, not my idea or recommendation. David Kilnapp has made a generous offer. John Fengel's last post has what appears to be a legit option to the off the market Rustoleum Charleston Green. Check the link below. Patience is a virtue.

Malcolm MacGregor Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ok Russ, I appreciate the clarification. Can you please clarify the paint color in your post? What ever it is, it looks great and it has Encouraged me to not use black on the GE Brass Bell. Regards, Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Nyman Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 This is how my base looks in Dark Hunter Green...it's not a bad color but it's much lighter then what I expected. I looked at the Professional XO Rust and it may be a good option but it is not available locally, I'll try to get some shipped for the heck of it but I fear the same results as before...out of stock/discontinued but we'll see. Meanwhile I'll wait for my kindly donated can of the original from Mr Kilnapp...I don't know how much paint a fan takes but if the can seems full enough I'll send it to you Malcolm. Sounds like a crazy idea, killing two fans with one can but I've done stranger things, and BTW I paid the dues last night and hope I'm in good graces now. Please PM me with your project Malcolm, I'll work some on mine tomorrow and do the same. Russ, your GE is a beauty, nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Carmody Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I have a can of the X/O Charleston, and tomorrow, or today depending how one looks at it.I stay up all night every night, but I don't start projects at 430AM.Anyway.I'll spray a test on something and compare with fan colors and report.I have GE fans fron early 20s to early 30s to compare.I'm actually curious myself . I've had the can for a time, but I've been working on black fans.Although I discovered all blacks are not the same either.The early 20s Westinghouse in light is actually a dark gray green.I found that out when trying a touch up with pure black.For what thats worth.
