   1. 1 parts either UG219 Marine Blue or UG206 Fire Engine Red with 5 parts SG303 Citrus Snow Gem. 
   2. 1 parts either UG219 Marine Blue or UG206 Fire Engine Red with 5 parts SG304 Berry Snow Gem. 
   3. 1 parts either UG219 Marine Blue or UG206 Fire Engine Red with 5 parts SG305 Spearmint Snow Gem.

6. Using a RB106 #6 Script Liner Brush apply 3 coats of the Berry Snow Gem mixture to the middle section band.
