Where would you guys go for the correct B5 blue paint? PPG, Dupont, House of colors, Martin Senior?
I know that the color can vary a LOT so Im goin to want to make sure I buy more than enough to paint the car out of the same mix.

I used Dupont Cromabase with SPI clear on my Cuda. I was very happy with the color match and results. I am sure PPG would proved good color match and coverage as well. When I did my Duster I used Nason acrylic urethane and was also very pleased with the results. For base I would stick to the higher quality paints but I do like the Nason for single stage paint. You do want to make sure you use the right code for the year you have as B5 changed in 71 and again in 74.

Here is a 1970 b5 match that is spot on. It was done by mike Mancini in RI. They use PPG paint at the shop
Got me a NEW Project 1970 GTX 440+6, 4 spd, 4.10 Dana and N96 FE5 (top/bottom) and black bucket interior. Original transmission and Dana - Engine is a service replacement block.
Body has all stamped #s + VIN/TRIM tag and door sticker. Been hunting like all hell to find the Build Sheet.
garage find, only had 41,850 miles on ODO.
