Ken,

Smart move. I know it`s tough to pick a color...the "Correct" color. But you just cannot go wrong with the original color.

Dan.

Also.......After seeing the original color of the car while sanding (Gobi Beige) and looking at Marlin's car in Chevy Rumble..........I've decided to paint the car back to it's original color as it will be a "Unique" color combo..........So, Marlin......there will be at least two Gobi Beige cars around....LOL

Update........They want to start from the bare metal and work up.......I'm getting an education in Chemical (Paint) Compatibility Ken

it seems paint compatability is the new body shop catch phrase. long gone are the days of shooting a car in the yard on a calm day.
here's an article from this months chevy hiperf on just this subject. more smarts for the grey matter.

I thought that the "Fawn" color that the car was painted was Cameo Beige, when they sanded thru the paint to see how much paint was on the car.......is when the original paint color came thru, once I realized what was going on I had second thoughts........and again, after looking at the Marlin's Car in Chevy Rumble.....It hit me that was the "Perfect" color to paint it.......Can't see the Forest because of the "Trees"..........Duhhh

Ken
