Try calling a bodyshop that mixes there own paint, they could probably do better than a supplier can.

They cant make it in their non water based product line because the toner strength they use is different than PPG. However he is checking now to see if he can cross refference these toners to try and make a match...


He is mixing up a 4oz sample of what he can figure out from the above. I'll spray it tonight and compare it to the other green.

Paint shop couldn't figure it out. Went to the more expensive paint shop and they were able to do it. I'll pick up the paint on Friday.


Spent 3 hour tonight.

Guide coat, sand, guide coat sand, sand, sand. Went over the car in detail and fixed a bunch of little things that could have been overlooked. Laid a bunch of guide coat and sanded lots of little areas. Still have to do under the targa bar, but that's it. Then it's 320 (the shop was out, yay...).

Also prepped the jambs, removed the thresholds and cleaned some surface rust, removed the door strikes, taped off the factory stickers, ect.

nice job Andrew!! I also had another thought about the paint. I know that they already found the color, which is great, but like we talked about the color might be *slightly* off due to converting it from waterborn to urethane single stage. What about giving them the 1977 turbo signal green? L62Y this (i assume because it was 30 years ago) might get us closer to the actual signal green??

just spit-balling here. let me know...


so, all thats left is sanding the entire car down with 320 and then were ready for paint??

keep it up!

I tried that color first and they couldn't find it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be really close. Again I'll look at the color beforehand. I have a really good idea now of what the color looks like in person.

And yes, 320 then jambs and targa bar. Well take the doors off and paint the underside of those at the same time and the underside of the trunks if you want that done.

If we had Saturday, no problem. But we don't and I don't want to spray under the targa bar the same day as the body. However this test paint dried pretty fast. You might be able to take the car home after a day.

sounds good.

being able to take it home after a day or two would be great!

if you think we could knock out spraying under the targa bar and prepping the garage for paint in a couple hours, i could come tomorrow evening.

no worries if not, im just so excited!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Well we still have to block sand the car in 320 grit and that'll take a couple of hours so I dont think we can get the garage ready for paint after that. However if you want to come by early on sunday we could get a full day in, prep the garage, spray the pre area's mentioned and do our best for getting the garage prepped. Then next saturday we could spray it in the morning and you can take it home on sunday assuming the paint is hard enough.

How are you coming on your duty's? That engine lid is of primary concern as we will want to spray the underside of it on Sunday.

sounds good andrew.

I finished sanding the one bumper that I bondo'd at your house and added bondo to the rear valence.

My girlfriend is now in Oregon for 6 weeks so I have the entire weekend to myself.

I am planning on putting a long day in on saturday and finishing all of the panels. So everything should be ready to bring back to you on sunday. Ill make sure to do the engine lid first if I can't get to all of the other panels by saturday night. I think I am also going to take the front valence down to metal. I have a feeling that just putting bondo in that one section wont be good enough.

I will be sure to bring the plastic for the paint booth too. I think I will have most of what we will need.

Did we find a place to get matte black?

We can get the flat clear from the shop and throw it on some of the black that I have. I probably only need like 8 ounces of my black paint.

Probably a good idea to take that valence down to metal. Just realize that it needs a lot of work.

I see ya bought Nason single Stage...

A little advice from a painter.... with the hot weather, do alot of light coats. If you pound that stuff on thick it will solvent pop really bay, I'm talking like, 1 light coat, wait 10-15 minutes.... and get as many fans running in that garage as you can, the higher airflow will eliminate solvent pop along with an extended flash time between coats....

and good luck bro!!!

Good advice! We will be spraying the body probably closer to 10am next saturday. It will probably be mid 70's. However if we prep next friday and can spray @ 8am, then Im going to shoot for that as it will be probably 5-10 deg cooler.

Tomorrow will be a test day, spraying the jambs and under the targa bar. If we need to make any adjustments to flash time or anything we'll find out then.




When I sprayed my car I used cheaper quality paint and I only had 1 sovent pop

8 hours in today.

Car is block sanded and 99% ready for paint. We have to clean the gutters out to make sure no crap flied up while spraying like what happened in my car . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)


Sprayed under the trunks and engine lid, the jams, and under the targa bar.


The targa bar was a PITA and some of it came out dry. I'll be respraying this this week with my touch up gun.

Rest of it came out clean. Really wish I did the jambs for my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The color is amazing and is the correct color no doubt.

However getting the 914's both in the garage was a little bit of a task... But I managed.
