Re: [Amc-list] Fw: PPG paint recipes?

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My wife argued with me tonight at a car show about the color of a Challanger. 
   It was a Panther Pink. My wife insisted it was purple. I said no, it is pink... she said no, your wrong it is purple, I have a nail polish that color. So I asked the group behind the car( one was the owner) What color is this car? and of course they all said Panther pink. My wife just gave me that grin. 
   I told her it must be the lights And I took her out for ice cream after

  Right... I haven't seen one that looked right to me yet... And a lot of it is that those old chips in the books have deteriorated and some colors deteriorate faster that others. So most won't really look as good as the finished product and usually the chips are darker. Also, my eyes are not very color precise, according to my wife.... There is a lot of color differences from even the new chips as much depends on the applicator and the type of paint.

Well you can't really trust the online paint chips
because of differences in scanner settings and setting
on your monitor. If you go to a PPG jobber with the
paint code, they might have a copy of the original PPG
paint chip chart. You can always ask them to mix the
minimum amount of paint, also spray it on a piece of
sheet metal and see if you're satisfied.
