William,

What parts were painted EO that should not have been painted?

I can't see where he has any stake in this, so why would we have any reason not to believe him?

I can say FOR SURE that original paint 1965 EO lacquer seems to be a much lighter, more silvery hue than what you get today spraying PPG base/clear. We had my Dad's urethane base/clear EO Nova near an original paint EO car at one point, and the original paint car looked silver by comparison. Much lighter, and less purple.

At no time has anyone been accused of lying. As stated I do not question the car was ordered in EO. He has every reason to believe it was EO. Unlike yourself and many of the others I actually saw the original paint on this car. I have ample reason to believe it wasn't.

All this talk of bc/cc variation is bs. Were that true every car restored in bc/cc wouldn't look original.

Since I actually saw the OE paint nothing I have read here will convince me that car was EO. Feel free to continue convincing yourselves it was.

In the spirit of the &quot;Hog wild race car&quot; thread lets solve this mystery shall we?

But I need William to assist first.

Two hours examining the car and William and Jerry missed the omission of the paint code on the trim tag (AKA special paint) and concluded that the car was Cortez Silver, which most, if not all on here agree that the car was not.

IMO, pretty much dismisses their inspection report.

Add years of sunlight,or flo lights,and so many temperature differences since then,and I could see how some may be mis-lead thinking it came silver. </div></div>yes this true but why keep on insisting it was not EO after the original owner shows up with other people who have seen the car say it was EO. someone made a mistake but will not admit to it. all that has to be done is to say we made a mistake and the color was EO and this will be over.

Actually it pretty much dismisses your post. I mentioned the - B paint code a few days ago and it is always noted in an inspection. It was the main reason JM was called in. Since you weren't there either and have never seen the car your opinion is of no use to me.

I do not participate in CHP inspection reports.

A. if special paint code noted, then why report it as Cortez Siver, a standard Camaro color?
B. &quot;....Jerry &amp; I spent two hours examining this car before it was restored.&quot;

I &quot;thought&quot; from reading this special paint &quot;--&quot; can also denote stripe delete
