Hey guys. Has anybody ever dealt with these guys before? They have all of the correct Chrysler paint chips on their website and claim they can mix it correctly. I need FY1 - Lemon Twist and would like it to be as accurate as possible (single stage). Here is a link to the 1970 Plymouth colors (from a Chrysler book):

Also, I see they carry their own brand of paint in addition to PPG, its called "Restoration Shop" Has anybody used their paint? It is considerably cheaper than PPG, which should tell me something right there, but first hand experience with it goes a long way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I have bought a few small items from them, but not paint. However they are an automotive supply store just like your local bodyshops buy from! I would stick with the PPG Concept Urethane or Delstar Acrylic enamel paint and not the lower line "used car lot" paint as the longevity and color should be better.IMO
By the time you pay for their paint and the shipping you could probably get it nearby at your local bodyshop supply store for similar cost!

Thanks Brad. I will probably buy locally, but I get such an attitude from them because I don't paint cars everyday. I don't trust they will take the time to mix my color correctly. I would gladly pay the extra money for paint that I knew was mixed properly. Thanks, Rob
