I was trying to get some paint under the car before you showed up so you can see it, but I do not want to shoot any color until you visually OK the test spray. Saturday you can let me know if the color is correct, but there will be no color on the car. Sorry!
Tomorrow my dad and I are driving out to Ohio. We're going so we can see the progress on dad's 73 Challenger. This is an e-mail I got from the bodyshop today.
How am I going to OK the color? I'm sure it will look correct on the test piece but how can I be sure it will be right. I don't want to park next to another Challenger painted A5 metalic gray and see a huge color difference.
When I sent the car out there, some origonal paint was left on the inside tops of the doors but with all the bodywork that has been done I can't be sure that it still exists.

You're coming all the way out to Ohio and you're not planning on going to the shop of B/E & A Restoration Parts, Inc.? Seriously, if you're anywhere near hear just call me and I'll be there for you. I could care less if you need one of our parts, give me an excuse to come play MOPAR. I've got a bunch of cars here that might give you ideas on the direction you might want to take in your final assembly process. I'd be more that happy to go through the "don't do it that way" list because I've screwed up everything once already so you won't have to. Michael C.

Ive found that one thing that will make a HUGE difference in color shades is the color primer that was used on the car. Also, the amount of paint and how many coats of paint put onto a car will effect the color of the paint as well.

all you had to do is ask which paint system the paint shop is using,standard formula or which alternate formula if any ,then go to your local body shop supply store and look up that paint chip,it should be pretty close
Thank you ! Our rep keeps telling us to do a spray out on every color we spray. I keep telling him if his alternate decks are so much closer then everyone elses then its just a waste of paint. He doeast agree. We mix our own paint so we dont have to worry about someone else's oops mixing.

I'm not a body man. Can you go into a little more detail for me please? Should the paint supplier have the factory A5 color code on file?
I looked at the test piece and it wasn't right. He had matched the test piece to one of the fender louvers that he believed to be origonal paint. It was not. The car had been painted a few times before. We found some origonal paint on the inside of the doors but he wasn't sure the metal flake looked right. He thought that since it was just "overspray" that the metal flake looked heavier than it really was. He plans on lightning up the color a bit and adding a little more metal flake. He'll mail the samles to me to decide which one I want.

The problem I'm having now is trying to figure out the correct shade of argent to paint the tail panel. I'm so used to looking at 35+ year old argent on the panel that both the light and dark argent look wrong.
thats because most all Argent you see thats new IS wrong.
