Paint ?

[Too Many Projects]

I don't see a section for painting or finding restoration paint. I'm looking to get a correct color, single stage urethane in Rinshed-Mason 66B84, Dark Fawn for 1966 Chevelle interior.

Anyone have a source for this ?

You really need to take a piece of the exact color paint from the car and have it matched to an original piece - preferably something which was not exposed to sunlight etc... the back of a molding perhaps.

Car had black interior. Doing the color change, because I don't like black and the fawn looks much better with the Aztec Bronze.
So, the paint doesn't need to match anything, just be a close facsimile to the original Dark Fawn and be single stage urethane.

I did a color change on a dash once and out here in Seattle, I went to Wesco Autobody Supply and they looked up the color in an old DuPont book and then mixed it and I was all set. Expensive as is all paint with reducer and hardener, but perfect color match to original. Maybe call them and they'll ship to you? https://wescopbe.com/

Good luck

Well, Wescopbe can't find any reference to any of the 3 codes I gave him for the Dark Fawn paint ???

Dupont paint code 9275-L

Does anyone have a Sikkens Code for 1970 Forest Green ?

Yep, gave him the Dupont, R-M and Ditzler codes and he couldn't find any reference to any of them in is interchange book. This is an outlet in AZ. I couldn't find any in the Seattle area proper and didn't know which had been used. Shipping paint from the north could get questionable this late in the fall.

I am not 100% sure but I think it's #42533d. Ask your painter what the # refers to.

You wouldn't recognize it anymore. Damn near every square inch of ground is covered by buildings. All the way passed Anoka to Ramsey. It looks like it's all one town...:no:

Yep, DEFINETELY Auger Country....it's not me. The locals all tried to get me to go Ice Fishing....not my idea of fun.

Ice fishing has changed a LOT since the 90's. Now you need a 30k trailer to camp in...:grin:

Nice, but still not for me.....such a waste of time.
I would much rather waste my time in the garage building and restoring Muscle Cars :)

Fixed that for ya'. Working on cars is never a waste of time... well, not to motorheads anyway...:grin:

I lived in MN for the first 67 years of my life and I've never been ice fishing either...:biggthumpup:
