painting questions and sail panel advice, should i keep the sails original or paint them? also how to match and what to use for a 75 metallic paint Options

[DRPHIL914]

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

PPG Deltron will be the best match to original. When you start stepping down to cheaper paint lines, you lose a lot of pigments. I.E. Irish Green in Deltron has 7 different pigments, in Shopline or a cheaper brand it may only have 4-5. That doesn't sound like much until you put it next to the original color.

Base Clear all the way ESPECIALLY on metallics

I agree completely !! Delton is good stuff. If you have a shop that sprays the enviro base water borne the color really pops!
Have them use one of the premium clears. I would check with your shop and see what he likes as far as clears. Please let me know if you need any help and I can get you in touch with one of our local guys. I work for PPG automotive coatings.
See you at Teener!
