well the last time i painted a car it was with acrylic lacquer, ( yes i am dating my self) the system was ok, and I was able to get factory colours etc) what is the latest trend for paint for the do-it-yourselfer, I am not up to the painting stage yet but I usually like to keep all the primers, fillers, glazes etc from the same manufacturer. I am planning on patching the rear quarters, and taking the advice to butt weld the seams etc, hopefully I can get more of the paint stripped off to see how much I need to remove, I am nervous about this, the flange repair seemed so staright forward, but I have to go with the experts, anyway I was wondering about the paint systems. how would I go about getting the right colours mixed? after reading all the posts in the cloning thread, I am now thinking to paint the car like the 69 olds and find and refit all the cutlass badging, cutlass grills etc, and maybe put a hurst equipped badge or something on it.. (if I can find some of the old metal ones) so how do I find the correct white, gold, and what do I do for the black pinstripe?
