Thanks for the responses. I see the spray balm can's everywhere and they look very dark compared to actual cars I've owned. I didn't check PPG and didn't know that the tones could be different so that's great to know before I do anything. The cars I can see myself doing are a Feb 70 Metuchen car and a May 67 San Jose car. The 70 floors could be one of the left over paint mixes (grey tones etc)
If your car was built at NJ then the floor would have been a red oxide base not one of the slop colored car s- that was a different plant
but prefer the primer look and my cars are usually drivers so being exact isn't needed but close with some personal preference mixed in is always a plus.
IMHO nothing straight out of the can is going to be perfect or in some cases close. I'm guessing you don't have any original paint left that could be scanned and copied but that would be the best way of matching each cars original finish and the more quality locations the better front and back of the car
TLEA- If there's a particular tinting I can do based on year I would like to try if you are willing to share. Thanks again, Chris
Its not based only on the year and plant but the month or week even. Depending on both it can vary a little or allot.
Also consider that the undercarriage (firewall rearward) is a different color and or tint than from the firewall forward)
For the San Jose 67 car just getting finished, last final touches, of an article on that - as I published for the other years and plants already posted on this site and CMF, Lots of pictures and threads over there focused on that already
