restos just aren't my thing
I am painting up a nice 72-4 cuda grille and it is faded. I want to freshen the orange inside, but not sure if it is a standard color or not. Is it something I can buy at a local parts store, or is $30.00 a can specialty paint? thx. in advance.


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

The one I restored I spent some time researching what color to use and I ended up using Chevy orange. It matched perfectly to the NOS one that came with my car.

I used Chevy orange as well. Seems to be a near perfect match.
