Re: [Chrysler300] Paint for long rams





Shannon and Group -

An added thought - When I had my rams painted about 9 years ago, I recall comments that Chrysler likely applied a semi-gloss finish, rather than a high-gloss finish, so I had them painted accordingly, with a flattening agent added. That said, I purchased a spray can of Cummins red that I use to touch up chips on the rams, as well as repainted my hubcap centers. With the Cummins paint sprayed on, I think my hubcaps look too glossy.

p.s. - Just returned from cruising to the 'Mopars on the Mississippi' show in Dubuque - great seeing Dave Schwandt (F), Carl Bilter (J), Roland Westra (H conv), and Tom Gilmore (F, but not yet a Club member). Tom's toreador red F, restored by Bob Hayen, took best of show today out of 282 cars, as well as best of show a couple weeks ago at Mopars at the Red Barns in Hickory Corners.

Shannon and All:
I think the Cummins Apex Red is about as close as one is going to get in matching the original Chrysler 300F Ram Manifold Red master.  There is a little difference that I am sure will not be noticed on the variable surface of the manifolds.  (I didn't realize I once suggested trying to match a medallion!)  That must have been before Dave Schwandt discovered the Cummins connection!  The ram red and the medallion flag red are not the same shade---different Chrysler color numbers.
I painted mine with a "rattle can".
300ly, Gil C.

From researching the Tech section of the Club web site, it appears the closest paint to use for the long rams on a 300 F would be Cummins Apex Red.  Other than trying to match the paint on a medallion as suggested by Gil, does anybody have a different opinion of something that would be better/closer?  Also, if the Apex Red is the best choice, is it normally sprayed out of a rattle can, or is it mixed?  Does it go over a normal primer coat?

Any advice from anyone who has experience with this would be appreciated.
