Whose car is this and what paint code?

[Brock Samson]

 I'm aware of the extremely tricky nature of translucent paint finishes having used candys for model cars, and i have talked to many painters about them because besides wanting a candy tangerine paint for my sadly departed R.R. i originally want to have the charger done in a dark candy blue before it was painted this current solid blue. anytime you get into these custom mixes or adding color to the clear like I did to mine, it opens up a huge can of worms especially if a fender bender or scratch means the exact finish is supposed to be recreated by another painter maybe years later...
hell the mettalic cranberry pearl on my 300M was tricky enough that I took it to a mercedes shop because they were the only one I trusted to repaint the doors after that brit driving on the wrong side of the road sideswipped my Chrysler, and that was a stock color...
Anyhow, I was just wondering why the painter would obviously overspray the door jambs like that, if it was intentional and/or if the other body panels were done like that, i notice the owner hasn't commented and if I paid a very expensive premium for a super custom color and paintjob like that i would sure be rather upset... I can understand the lost art of fogging on faded candies, none does that anymore like they did up intill the late '70s. sometimes I see it on super trick bikes of funny car bodies even the occasional speed boat, but on cars it's been 30 years since it's been practiced... I was wondering about that panel darkening around the jambs and I know I'm not the only one to catch it... Still I love that particular Charger!  
By the way, it is spelled "Jambs" isn't it?..
That first car in the thread this is really all about looks rather cinnimon to my eye from the one photo...
far more mettallic then candy...
And I'm glad your boy is doing well Super Dave after all - and that's the really important thing.

You know, all this fuss about the color and I have to say it really doesn't do much for me. I think that car would present any good paint job well with its stance, wheels, etc. I think if it were blue or green it would look just as good.

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

But you do need something with that color paint. =)  I know a painter that I swear could match anything you wanted.

C'mon Birkholm....don't be a wanker. It's for the guys kid. Remember ,imitation is the sincerist form of flattery.
Looks like the car (other one) was painted one panel at a time instead of the whole side at once. Had mine painted and that's how it turned out,and worse. Now stripping again for another shot with a different body/paint guy.

Looks similar....not the same though.   

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 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.

this is my car all I can say is that you have to see this car in person

Thanks Brock appreciatte it, you are indeed correct.

You know if he doesn't want to tell me the colour, no big deal.  I can get it matched fairly close, don't know why I have to do it the hard way though.  Seems kinda petty not to share the colour though to a guy 10000 miles away.  My son at 18 already says whatever, if the guy wants to be so exclusive, we'll just pick a colour from a chip.  From the mouth of kids wisdom.........

Thx guys and gals...

here is one more pic of my car

[MikeD]

Car was painted all in one piece. Here is pic with the base coat on

[poppa]

It looks great there,I take it that's a three stage paint job? Color??

One piece isnt the issue. Its whether they sprayed it one panel at a time or if they sprayed down the whole side at once. if you coat the fender the the door etc. you end up with more coverage at the overlap.

[Brock Samson]

  sorry we're so far off topic,..  my fault,.. but wouldn't the correct procedure for a translucent paint be to hang the doors and other body panels and final color paint all the exposed surfaces at once doing the inside surfaces seperately and specially masked to avoid over spray  - which would darken the outside edges?..

The car was sprayed all at once all puy together as shown on the pic. The overlap that you see must me a shadow in that pic when you see the car in person that darker shadow is not there. For the people that have seen the car in person you validate with them,

Thank You

Her is one more pic

The silver base coat is what really makes the color pop!

[poppa]

Wow,that looks cool. In the pic,where it's at (I assume) the strip it looks good. On mine though,you could tell .It was bad. Oh,and I'm not pickin on your car. With the other pics I think it looks great. Hopefully one day mine will look half as good. Nice work! It looks cool just in the base coat.

Your right I waited 33 years to get a charger. I had a 1969 hemi Charger back in the day and I sold it what an ass I was. The Charger was the love of my life before my wife came along.  Thank you Mike
