Re: [Amc-list] PPG paint recipes?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I have been told be a reliable source to NEVER pick a color from chip.
The chips are NOT paint.
They are photo copies of paint and as so can vary greatly from the actual color.
I did a 300Z for a guy years ago and he picked the color from a chip.
It was supposed to be a light blue metallic.
When they mixed and sprayed it, well it ended up being a light blue with a lavendar cast to hit.
Not what the guy wanted, but the owner decided it was a pretty cool color afterall.
Thankfully I did not have to eat the paint and spray costs as I had subbed out the spray job....

Be careful with chips.
Know the color.
See it on a car or buy a small amount and spray it out first!
