Any other shade variables people have come up with over the years have simply been to slight shade variations between batches of paint.

Also a good idea to put some good primer on first. The mopar performance paints don't seem to cover very well. I always buy one more can than I think I'll need. Took 5 cans to cover a 426 max wedge with cross ram intake! lol, then it took half a can to fix the browned paint on the valve covers from the heat of the manifolds after I ran it on the dyno!

I got tired of half the cans of the MP paint not working so I went and just found a color that looked close and used it. This is Dupli-color I believe. Its very nice as it goes on thick and covers everything real nice. Ron Last edited by 383man; 12/08/09 12:25 AM.
