Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.
Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG) |

word back from d is one word.
glasurit. all the mercs, porsches he has done for the last 40 years. there is a bit more to it and i will send you a PM. but he was firm in his view they get the color right. often he has had to paint cars that no longer have any trace of original colour left or its real hard to find. they go straight off the formula. he believes despite all the dramas with VOC etc they have maintained the colors. i got a little talking to about cadmium and what a fabulous ingredient in terms of late 60s and 70s oranges reds and yellow colours. and of course its a verbotten ingredient. slightly off topic but close. this is what the old falcon ute got. wouldn't mind hearing @Superhawk996 views. (its a perfect match, as it turned out, it was adjusted slightly, we took a door down and had it matched, compensated for fade etc). not over the top paint given the ute is just a ute. but good enough not to make for a rubbish job. i've got to say i love block sanding this primer. i only do prep. had nothing to do with the 30 minutes of glory at the end. ![]() ![]() ![]() i read a thread a while back and i think @Superhawk996 expressed severe doubt about this product. oh well.

You can be the best paint shooter but put it over bad prep and all you have is shiny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) |
