Oh my GOD!!! My car is painted!!! It still needs to be color sanded an buffed but the car is painted!! I'm going to pick it up on Tuesday morning. I'm gonna go ahead and get the motor in it and put the body back together and take it back as a complete car so he can wet sand and buff it. Somebody pinch me!!! :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:

I think that's what he meant. ;)


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Looks great Telvis. I know you have been trying for quite some time to get the car painted. Glad it finally did. Can't wait to see pics of it on the road when you get it put back together.

It's PP1 red. It's PPG Base Clear. I don't think it's the Global Line. It's the product line next to it. I can't remermber the name of it. I think it might be 2000 or something. I wanted it in global but they couldn't mix it for some reason. They had a hard time finding the color code for PP1 at the time. The paint came out pretty good though.  It's not perfect but should clean up well once wet sanded and buffed. At this point I wouldn't care if it had a MAACO paint job. I have been waiting over a year and a half to get it done. I just want to drive it. I'm going to get it back to gether and enjoy it. I'm going out to the garage in a few minutes and start straigtening everythng up. It's a happy time here in the Telvis household! :icon_smile_big:

Hey Telvis, my new Charger looks like a very similar colour....Would you say it was the same...I know it's difficult to say from a pic, but...:


It's just I have no Idea what the colour is, and it needs a scratch sorted....Yours looks the closest.
Also, was PP1 available in 1968?
Anyone..?

It looks to be pretty close. My car was originally a PP1 car. So yes it was available

I wasn't sure because the paint chip looks darker than mine by a long way....When you get yours rolled out into the sunlight you'll have to post up a pic or two....
Great looking paint job by the way...you must be itching to get it all together now...
Thanks,
Limey

Limey, I agree that it does look a little light. I thought that the first time I saw it. I guess it doesn't matter at this point. I wouldn't care if it was turd brown. I'm just happy it's finished. If the color isn't exact i'm not going to lose any sleep. I just got through straigtening my garage up. I have the motor and tranny sitting there ready to go in. I have some brake work and suspension stuff to finish first. Hopefull I can get started about mid week. All of a sudden I'm hating the thought of that Toyota job. My priority has suddenly changed.  :-\

I just went out and compared the chip to the hood and fenders. It's pretty darn close to the PP1 chip. I probably don't have the best eye but it looks the same to me.
