I've had on heck of a time trying to figure out my paint color for the Olds. I thought I had it firgured out with the 54 Buick Titian red, but that wasn't it. Poncho heard of my dilemma and offered to help me out. We went to the body shop where he works (on a Saturday when the boss was away) and started mixing paint. After about an hour we had what I wanted. So he sprayed a test card let it dry and then shot it with some clear. It looked great! One problem though, he accidentally mixed way too much paint! No sense in wasting it he said, you might as well take this home and spray the firewall! I had a buddy come over today and spray it for me. 2 coats of paint and a couple coats of clear, man does it look great! I'm so stoked right now it isn't funny. I never thought I'd get to this point! It's been a good day, now I need a beer!
ya its funny how i mixed up way to much paint,im glad you found a use for it though!!!hahaha.im happy for ya dude looks awsome, i love that color on that body style..i replied on www.hellcatrods.com message board too!!!
