    Color HELP!

    It "may" be the same color in two different types of paint. I read on a forum- perhaps this one - that a particular shade will vary depending upon paint type, enamel, lacquer, 2-pack, water based etc will look "similar" but won't be identical to each other. Probably the best you can do is take...

    What color is my car......

    The other consideration is that paint formulations have changed over the years and it's likely that enamel, lacquer, water based etc will all look different even though they're the "same" colour. What folks often do is take a small painted panel like the fuel filler door to be scanned at the...

    Is this an original color from 1966?

    I guess if you have to have mags, have something you could have put on it when new.

    Is this an original color from 1966?

    The other consideration is that the colour may vary slightly from the original due to changes in formulation over the years and different paint types from the old Lacquer and Enamel to modern water based formulations.
