Coral (salmon)
Copper metallic
Surf green

I guess I'd like to know if I use Behlen cans should I stick with the same brand clear or can I use Deft? Watco? What if I use Krylon or Rustoleum colors?
Check out a Mohawk catalog. I think they have a whitewash that could work for a MK.
Krylon has a red that's pretty close to Fiesta.
I've had no problems using Acrylic lacquer as the color coat( Krylon, Duplicolor touch-up cans) and nitro for the clear.
I've mixed clear nitro brands with no adverse effects - VHT, Watco, Mohawk and Reranch so far..
