Dave, I've been at vettfest where there have been 7 Lemans blue 69 Camaros done by the best shops in the country, and all were slightly different. And if you had a unrestored original to set with them, you'd have probably had 8. Even when new, remember that GM used 3-4 pnt suppliers R&M, ditzler, dupont, and acme. They didn't all match from new, and when you had to try to match a color back then you might go through all 4 to find the right one. Cortez silver is even more difficult as it UV bleached out pretty quick. There's not much left to get a good scan off. I don't remember if we scanned the inside of my 69 Chevelle and then tinted it around, or if it was a different car. The clear coat makes the silver much deeper, and stops the UV bleed out. If the formula isn't on the back of the label, email [email protected] He might have it somewhere. |

Re: Cortez paint codes
Then if you do it in base clear, it will look different again. Even the colour of primer has an effect.

Re: Cortez paint codes
Hello Bob,
I have noticed that the Cortez Silver Novas were done over a ruddy red primer. Which was not the same as the Norwood brigher red primer I have seen on Camaros. This can effect the final appearance. However, I have a 1970 Nova with an untouched inner deck lid. I would be happy to compare that to any test cards if you wanted to have a few sprayed out. Greg
