Federal Standard 595 Colors

Q. I purchased some Panoma Boxes and I need some touch up paint that has Federal Standard 595 Blue piant #25109. Can you tell me where I can purchase this piant?

A. Fed. Std 595 is solely a color standard and does not specify the rssin system. You should be able to obtain this color from most industrial paint stores, such as Sherwin Williams, PPG, etc. You can pick the resin system, such as alkyd, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane to suit the application.

Good luck,

Best wishes,
