Is that a Saratoga top, or just really really glossy?

Yes the photos were taken before I lowered the front end and did an alignment, but you get the idea.

Love the look! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Never would have guessed it was a '76.

Uhm a whites only thread, I wonder if the black cars will take this sitting down?

I demand color equality!!!!

actually there are some nice white ones out there, but the best is orange!

would a creamsicle count as white? it has orange on it, and that makes it look cool!

Actually, Babydoll is "supposed" to be silver. At least that's what I saw under the fuel tank.

#5 down also looks like they used VW's "Ivory" or another "off white" instead of true L80E Light Ivory!

The question is always whether it was an owner's choice, or painter's/paint supplier's mistake? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Dan made the choice on his current resto, which is why he named the topic "...white 914s" & not Light Ivory or L80E 914s, but this is not the O&H Forum.

As to white vs. black 914's, then you get into all those brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, silver & purple, etc. types wanting equal time! I vote for separate threads on each color so you can more easily find the color in which you're interested! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I would say for the most part it is the paint code translation by the different paint brands.

Very hard to cross a paint code from an old laquer formula into whatever new 2 pack etc paints.

My MGA is supposed to be Olde English White... looks more like beige or cream... but hey it is a 50 year old paint code.

Scotty - what brand(s) paint are you getting the best color match for L80E?
... & is it old school solvent based or the newer water based paints?

Point of order. Request that the chair consider this as a motion.

Seconded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
