We've moved!!! fwdlook55@xxxxxxxx
I need some paint advice. Yeah, I remember a bunch of input on paint codes a
while back, and I did save them, but the computer was stolen! [Honest]
Anyway, the guy who low bid the paint job says that his paint supplier can
get a color match with a spectroscope. From my house painting experience I'm
dubious, especially for green. A little extra yellow and it looks pukey. Do
I need to start with a code? If so, does anyone have a listing for '55DeSoto
Lexington Green and Surf White in a current line of paint?
Next question, what is the proper prep for bare metal? I hear acid etch
primer, epoxy primer, and others say use "Rust-Mort" or "Oxy-Coat" before the
primer.
Finally, I''ve seen some of this guy's cars and they look good. Mostly rods
and one '56 DeSoto. But what should I specifically look for?
