Hey Dominic, we've been using a brand for a couple years by a company called SPI out of Georgia. Their paints are super to use and a lot nicer than the old PPG. They have a red oxide but out of the can it's too red in my opinion but they also have white gray and black so it's easy to tint what you're looking for. It's available in quarts and gallons so you don't have to buy a ton and it's about half the cost of what PPG used to be. Gloss level is also perfect.

This is for 65 Shelby but should be the same.

Variations, color wise are less and in 65 you have the very dark gray (some refer to it as black) period so it will depend on when the car was likely built. All explained in that article I shared on this site and CMF.  For firewall forward you would have a version of red oxide with either floor color since it was applied by hand in a separate station after the floor was done by the jets  If you want to email or PM we can compare the cars VIN or time period to other documented cars and determine what the original color is unless you have done that already.

And to the article mentioned in that thread

And an example of the intersection/overlap of the front frame application over the floor color in the late 65 San Jose example

Thanks  Jeff and Tim for all your help

Is this for 67 San Jose?   Can likely provide a starting point that you can tint to match the production period your car was built during or at least close. PM or email me and I'll try and help if your starting from ground zero and thinking of doing this as a paint rather than an epoxy primer sealer.

This is for 65 Shelby but should be the same.

My body guy saying his suppliers do not have red oxide primer anymore . Not a big call for it anymore. They make /mix there own for customers that want it.
Is that  what everyone is doing now? 
I plan on giving him an NOS part or a used part with original primer so they can get close .


Thanks
Dominic

Appreciate that, most of that damage looks superficial and confined to fiberglass damage

Yes car was not that bad . The owner was bad as he took the entire car apart and then let it sit for 35 plus years.
Good thing was all the parts were kept in the garage .

from parts unknown you have goldie

I have some great footage of me uncovering that car and winching it up onto my rollback . its a long story how it was parked after being wrecked. I had made that dolly to help drag out of its hole. That picture is from when it was sold to the new owner.

The car is a 500 4spd with factory ac

I owned car 1968 500 conv.  #136  Dual serial # car it had original SPEC case

Looking back 20 plus years since we pulled that car out of that building seems like last week.  You moving 3000 miles away has definitely slowed down the restoration process as all your contacts and shops were here in PA. Going to be a beautiful car once done as great color.
To bad that Psychedelic paint job was not in a little better condition would been super cool to have just done drivetrain and have left that paint would been an attention getter like no other 67.

Is anyone still reproducing the correct looking rear wheel cylinders with the small bleeder? 
Thanks

Dominic
