Anybody know who owns this car and the paint colour?

Brock Samson

 judging by the square plate probably one of our Europiean carpet bagger err,.. friends, and a modern repaint, best you find the owner to ask the color specificly possibly on the post a pic of your charger thread...

I remember that car, I think the owner is Danish.

It looks alot like the car on this page which belongs to MikeD: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,64619.300.html

Looks like one of the best looking candy apple paint colors I have seen. I Just wanna take a bite out of it!

I would agree.

This car is from PA and it doesn't have a pass side mirror like the car above, and of course the rims and tires are different but that could have been recently changed

I have this pictures saved at home and I think I wrote down the username. When I get there I'll find out and let you know.

The car is Danish, owned by a guy called Christian. I sent him a PM on another board, linking to this thread..

I found the pic I had saved but there was no username on it because it was a repost by member Birkholm. So I went through a bunch of pages where I thought I had grabbed the pic and found on page 143 of this thread: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,6.3550.html

The car is in Denmark, on the island of Fyn best I can tell. I can't read Danish but you can piece some of the info together from the direct link to it: http://www.bilgalleri.dk/html/gal_visbil.asp?ID=88688&ipc=278409

Originally it was a 318 car but now it's got a 360.

I´m the owner of the car :)

The paint is NOT the popular apple candy red, but it´s a candy color
The code I will keep secret ;)

The apple candy colour it also a cool color, just seen it to many times

I know this car, and has been established, it is not the same one as in the top pick.  The guy got this color from one of his wife's nail polishes.  He even used it to touch up, but I won't tell where.  This pick was taken at the Father's Day Car Show at Reagle Dodge in Pen Argyl, PA.  If you're ever in the area, check it out.  One of the best MoPar only shows around.

  :scope: that candy apple red car looks like they didn't tape off the outside of the door jambs when they fogged on the red,..  :shruggy:  I like it but don't think that could be intentional, could it?.. is the hood and trunk done the same way?.. seems like a pretty obvious thing to me...  :shruggy:

Thanks a ton man, really appreciatte the effort!!  I'm doing this car for my son who if you have read my resto thread was very ill few years back.  Thankful to God for hearing our prayers and shocking the doctors with an uncanny improvement in his health.  More or less totally healthy last 14 months!  Being that way, he is putting the heat on to finish the car!!!  


Thanks again.

Its most likely because it doubled up on coverage there . Most painters  pant one panel at a time , with some overlap.

If you realy wanted that color I am sure a decent painter could get you that, and not need a paint code number.

Appears to be "Brandy Wine" over a silver base coat. I did my old '67 Vette with that color and a gold base coat years ago and it was a bit darker.

Hey Brock,

You can't shoot candy finishes the same way you might normally paint a car. The color will become darker everytime you overlap a spot. I see it pretty often where a painter shoots a car in sections (Quarter - Door - fender) The Charger is a very long car and frankly... doing candy on a car this long is a hell of an undertaking for anyone. The spraygun gets pretty damn heavy after awhile.
