My 75 comes back from Chris Foley shop this weekend and will go to paint a week later. in the between time I will be stripping it down to get it ready.
1. what paint would best match the original Copper metallic? is it single stage or 2? 2. should I keep the sail panels? I have not decided yet but if I don't, how do I go about it? what do you keep , like the trim pieces? Thanks - Phil |

It would depend on if you were trying to make the car look like it came from the factory or to last. Color match should be equal in SS or BC. If you are looking for color clarity and longevity use base/clear. Premium clear coats have UV protection in them that will protect the color from fade. Also will keep the finish looking fresh for years. If scratched it can be easily buffed out or if needed can be spotted in. Single stage does not allow for the same protection unless you use a urethane single stage and integrate clear in the last coat. Scratch repair is more difficult to buff because you stand a chance of exposing the metallics which changes the color and is very difficult to spot in. As far as the sail panels that is a personal preference kind of thing.
Good luck on the job!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) B (PPG Automotive Finishes) |
