Took her to the body shop today to get the hood painted. It’s been a long time to get to this point. Almost finished (to the untrained eye lol). She will finally be at a point where I can drive to local events and enjoy her for a while. Sure, lots of little projects to keep me busy in the future, but now I won’t see primer every time I step into the garage....

 

Nice ! Hopefully it wont be out of your hands for too long. Best of luck and please keep us posted.

 

I thought that by your member name that you were a painter yourself...............

 

Well... mostly HOUSE paint lol Product development for Sherwin-Williams. And I've painted the bumpers and smaller stuff on the car, and several other cars, but I couldn't find a jobber that would match this yellow for me. So this time I figured I would put the onus on someone else to match the color and do a nice job! And save me a few days and nights sanding and polishing

 

Pardon me for jumping in, but could you recommend what store chain I should go to to get a Dutch Boy color (of which I have the codes) mixed up with Sherwin Williams paint?

 

Hey Koda - All Sherwin stores are company owned and all should have the formula for the Dutch Boy colors in their computers. If you have an actual sample of the paint/color you want, it's always best to take that with you. All the products in Lowes are made by SW as well, and they might have the same abilities.

 

Ok, thanks. I'll do that.
