I just started painting the B7 from S&W. It does not look right.B7 seems to be defined differently depending on manufacturer. I need help any good pictures would be great. So far the car is only jammed. Help

Some PPG B7 from '87 repaint. It was dead on color to remaining original paint.

Reflected sunlight definately makes a difference.

Package Tray Original B7. Cleaned today and untouched since Sept. '69. Hey- thanks by the way- I probably wouldn't have documented my color prior to sending this car off to a pro rotisserie shop.

This colour was dead on but it will change in the lighting, yours does look light.
This was with bright sun on it, the other side would have looked way darker. You're correct on that door jamb, that is the right shade there.

When I got it back from the paint shop I photograped it on a cloudy day ('87) it almost looked black. B7 is very succebtible to light. Roll it back inside and close the door. Post a pic shot at night.

This door jam picture is not close to mine. The GTX pictured in this post is close.

The pic you posted of the inside trunk area has some shade on the driver side wheel well. That color looks right. It's the sun reflecting off the rest of the paint that makes it look light. Are you going to clear coat also?

Yes we are clear coating. Good observation on the driver side wheel well.
Thanks for the help
