I believe we used either PPG or DuPont. I forget now honestly, since I'd changed my choice on the color numerous times before I finally settled on a Chrysler factory color (midnight blue pearlcoat) and tweaked it slightly.

It's been shot now, we just got the doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders etc back on the car, and now it's getting wet-sanded, then shot with clear again (2 coats) then buffed and polished out.
It should be done this week, and I'll get some pics of it for ya.
I've been too busy with other stuff lately to do much with the car (dialysis, and the access I have is clotted so I have to go in for surgery today.)
That aside though, the car is nearly finished now. I'm about to send some of the chrome out for rechroming.

This car has been in the body shop for the paint since March 2006 (over a year) as it was a 'side project' and I had it stripped down, and did the bodywork as I had time.

also forgot to mention, the links/site don't work because I lost my site's host unexpectedly, so I'm in the process of moving the site to a new host. I guess I should hurry up and get that done here PDQ.

I hate honey gold on old musclecars, it's disgusting. That would definately have to change. Nice project otherwise, I just tend to prefer darker colors on older cars, tends to compliment the lines of the cars better and make the chrome stick out that much more.

Hey Y'all thinking of letting my first car ever go
1969 camaro project (needs a motor)
minor rust paint still good
has 373 rear end only used for 100 miles as well as new strange axles
muncie 4 speed transmission
stainless Steel brand front disc brake conversion
decent interior needs some TLC
front clip modifies to hing forward to for easier motor work
Enkie rims
clean title in my name ready to transfer
will need a lockset as I had it at an old friends house for storage and he LOST the keys. I do have title and proof of ownership though before anyone trys to claim it stolen.
Make an offer I'm not sure what its worth in it's current condition but look at the current market if you want your offer to be seriously considered, rediculus lowballs will be completley ignored.
if you want any other pictures let me know.

The base color is called "Midnight blue pearlcoat"
you can find it on grand cherokees, caravans, and 300s
very dark color. pops in sunlight, looks black at night, and shifts color as you change viewing angles.. (the aggressive pearl)

lay it on well, give it a good wet sanding, and it'll gleam.

A guy I know that has a 68 Mustang painted his in a Chrysler blue, Patriot Blue if I remember correctly. Really, really dark, looked good though.

I think I've seen the one you're talking about on 300s though, looks good in sunlight.

Just figured you'd like this.
Can't see it... you have to log into that forum just to see stuff?
That's a reason not to register. :scorp:
