Thanks guys!!! I am loving it!!!! the car is a '73 2.0 with appearance package signal orange. so since i am doing a 'resto-mod/hot-rod' I only cared that i was using a porsche factory color from the same era---i did not care whether it was a precise match--but i wanted WILD 70's porsche green as it makes me smile!!
Ive also welded the antenna hole, marker light holes, modded the sail panel (but done with metal, not filler) , I welded up all the licence holes and bumper holes on the bumpers and had the triple chromed, it has a giant raby 2.4xxx liter super stroker, houndstooth and leather interior, restored gauges silkscreened with the new redline, all suspension is 911/930/groundcontrol----fuchs are true early 911 16x6's polished, etc etc etc. so i used all porcshe stuff and am keeping it from looking corny, but it is a resto-mod. (i have kept the original fuchs, matching # case, etc to the side) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

QUOTE(adiokyro @ Jun 4 2014, 10:54 AM)  here's an update pic on my '73 -- the porsche lime green looks lighter in the pic than it really is---its a very bright green from 73/74. almost ready for reassembly!!! LOL Mine is in the shop getting ready to be painted that same paint code. Although, I'm doing a single stage and the whole thing is costing me around 3K. . . for a daily driver that the owner won't go insane as much about door dings. |

 The paintstore regaled me with the wonderful attributes of this waterborne paint system. Must be true. http://ca.ppgrefinish.com/PPG-Refinish/Pro...igh-Performance |

Local MI guy Dan with his "John Deere" green race car.
My Chrome Yellow/Saturn Yellow photo fixed with more green tint. I believe if you spray Chrome Yellow add more green tint to the base mix for a bright green.

 A very nice medium metallic pearl clear. An outstanding choice and execution,flawless. Nice lean green machine. post-4383-1397617635 A half shade lighter than my '62 Bug,done in a coarse flake in '71. The metallic paint demands the bodywork has real continuous curves as minor imperfections are readily obvious. I can't recall seeing a green done so well,iridescent. |
