Unfortunatly, I don't have any original paint on the car to compare. Can you guys tell me if todays' single stage PPG 2232 paints are the same exact colour ( out of the can) as the original.
I was convinced by my paint shop and other friends in the hobby to go with the new BC/CC paints because of the advantages these new paints offer. I tended to agree with them as it would be more practicle in my case. However, if the colour can't be matched perfectly in BC/CC, I will decide to go with the single stage paints. The colour is the whole soul of this car.
Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciated the purists way of restoring these cars. I just love reading about your facts and detailing techniques and the lenghts to which you guys go to in your restorations. I'm fascinated when I look at your cars, they are works of art. I will never forget when I first laid eyes on Bobs' Boss cars. But,when I talk about them to some of my friends, they look at me strange and think that the forums I read are full of wackos. What do mean, paint drips are good, the bolts have to have the right letters, overspray, and what this about rust spots?? Carm.
