    Maybe the word is moron, not maroon.

    Slim is innocent this time. He gave the customer the paint # he selected.

    Hmmm Color Blind, didn’t sit down and double check all the facts with the buyer. A WEAK excuse when he messed up… Slim should be a Politician…

    He can always blame the last mechanics for the screw up.

    Where are Sarge and Hack, anyway?

    I don’t care what color a car is as long as it’s candy apple red. Finally got one. A Chrysler Concorde LXI

    The customer should have been able to tell that the color chart was dusty. He should have just asked for maroon in the 1st place.

    How long has it been since a car was painted in that shop?

    The last car I bought was maroon in color. The word is from the French, marron, which means “chestnut.”

    While I am an artist and have mixed my own colors, I had a temp job of a few weeks working at a paint store over 25 years ago. We used a color chart which told us how many “squirts” of a color needed to be added to a gallon of white paint to get the same color on the color chart.

    Hey, Mr. customer, now everyone can see you much more easily so they will have a chance to get out of your way!

    Joe Allen Doty –Bingo Joe you may have stumbled on the answer for the mix up , only I thank the ” squirt ” was on the outside of the can .

    Looks like number 3219 ” Barn Red ” to me . But what do I know ? I’m blind in one eye & can’t see out of the other .
