Did Glassaurit make the paint for 914s? I know they made the paint for most if not all the VW beetles, but did they make 914 paint as well?

Ask ten painters whats best and you'll get ten answers. The comments about using what hte painter is most comfortable with are the best ones. Any reputable, main brand paint is about as good as any other.
More important, if you are looking for an exact color match it is very hard. The color mixes have changed alot at the manufacturers as they have changed formulas over the last 30 years. Also, the colors on your car have changed. To really match, you need to use a color sample from inside the doors or under carpet. The other colors are all faded by UV. When I did my car (Willow Green also) it took us three days to get a good color. I bought paint from all the manufacturers and ended up having to tint it on my own. I'm not sure if the color guns would get you close or not - I've never had good luck with them. |
