I took the afternoon off yesterday and painted the car. It turned out well, the color is Saturn Yellow, L13M. I made one major screw-up, let's see if you can find it. This car is slated for a 327-300 SBC conversion. Every time I paint I learn something. I am living proof that anyone can paint a car, 90% prep, 5% paint and 5% luck! Since I live in Michigan, any part that is covered, gets a coat or two of Por-15, that's why the door sills and firewall are not painted. The car was white!

Mine is the Sunflower yellow if I recall correctly. I actually used a VW paint code out of the PPG book, but it was the same code as the 914 for the year.
You know, that water trick didn't work so well for me. The water seemed to roll off more in some places than others. Also, here in AZ it evaporates as soon as it has a nice even shine Mine is single stage and I color-sanded it. I removed a couple of runs in the process. I know you can't color sand single stage metallics. If its 2 stage metallic(with a clear) of course you can color sand. You should consult your paint supplier regarding whatever paint you use to be sure. |
