It seemed like it was going to take forever to make some progress on my rust repair. After spending the entire winter locating parts, grinding, cuting, painting, and learning to weld, I was finally ready to take the plunge....
Also thanks to everyone on the board, I would have never had enough confidence to tackle this without this site!!! BTW: I must be getting addicted to the "914 lifestyle" as I had withdrawal when the site was down.

All I did was go to my local auto paint store and tell them the code (L50E) and the year (1972). They looked it up on a computer to get the formula and mixed it. It is way too bright to match the old paint on the outside of my car, so unless you paint the whole thing I wouldn't go that route. Most shops offer computer matching also. You can take your headlight lid with you and they can scan it with their computer. This "should" match your car exactly taking into account the years of wear and fading on the paint. I used a low end acrylic enamel since it was just on the interior. If you are going to paint the outside, the guy I bought the paint from recommended a paint that is a base-coat and clear-coat combined into one. He said it is the easiest to make look good. Good Luck and keep up the good work on yours also! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |
