NLA from A-1 Racing Products either :( so I guess I'm going to be looking for another product. I'm going to give the Kyrlon aluminum a try and see how it looks. If it looks pretty good I'll post some pics
Nevermind that....they emailed me saying the order was canceled because it is out of stock with no ETA
I notice that on SummitRacing they suggest as a subsitute Mopar Performance Paint P4529876AB, but it is also NLA.
I found the original on A-1 racing Products so ordered it there. We'll see...
I don't doubt that the paint and also the metallic flakes in the paint do fade/tarnish/etc. over time. Yeah, that's probably the best bet -- to just try and stay consistent.
What is the Mopar spray bomb??
Thanks for the info. It even has a paint code which I never knew about. I took the tail lights out and could see that whoever painted it did not remove them, instead just masked them, so there is a different shade which was hidden. It does not look like the silver argent paint I bought to...

My brother and I will be coming with our gold 68 300 coupe. But as usual, the 300's will probably not be next to the C-body section :rolleyes:

Geez...I wonder what's up with that. I looked up spinnaker white on tcpglobal. I didn't take note of the pricing but it seemed to be in the range of what you paid. I had to find Turbine Bronze on autocolorlibrary.com, here's what I find:
I checked the pricing on some of the other 1968...
Thanks this is all great information! Up until now I was thinking that for an amateur a single-stage would be the way to go but you guys have changed my mind. I do like the idea of being able to touch up problems with the BC/CC because...well...amateur.
I know painting everything at once is...
