Looking to see who makes the most correct 69 Q5? Trying to find out too if they were painted with red primer under the color like I believe the F6 was. Customer has an A12 f6 bee that he had another shop do a few years ago. They shot it with a gray sealer and he wasn't happy so he had them redo it with the red sealer then color n clear it. He and I want to make sure we get this one correct. It's a 69 hemi q5 bee.
Thanks

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there's no magical paint formula, no special paint pipeline...ANY paint can be made to match the desired shade/color needed, you can achieve the perfect "formula" only to have the guy mixing the paint fubar the actual final mix prior to the day of painting, or the wrong base shade, or coverage issues/spray technique, etc, etc, etc
Pick the style of paint finish you want, single stage enamel as OEM, single stage urethane, BC/CC, etc, etc, pick the brand (quality line), work with the guy mixing it to achieve the desired hue/shade, if your not painting it, work with the painter in achieving the results you desire thru spray outs,...and when it's all said and done and your ready to repeat the process, and just when you think you've "nailed it", there's no guarantees

Also no this car does not have an original spot that I can use as a sample. Its been for better terms worked over pretty good and from what we have found I wouldn't trust any of the color on here to be even in the same field as the factory color.

And there is NO WAY I would let my painter spray Q5 in bsse/clear again! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tsk.gif) You cannot even come close to the original color that way, seen it too many times. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eyes.gif) I have an original Q5 Swinger parts car, I don't know if there are any unboltable parts left to send you though. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scope.gif)

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

The thing that I don't like is metallic control in a single stage. Just do not like it. Plus after I do a paint job I like to really cut and buff them smooth. Yeah I know that's not correct but honestly if I can get an original part I can have my jobber do the tinting on it to make it as close to original as possible. I was wrong with the customers F6 bee. It wasn't that it was painted with wrong undercoat color. There just was mottled and that was the reason they redid it. That IMO will happen if I do it in single stage no doubt in my mind.
