67 442 Saffron best match.
Hi,
I am going to be doing a body off on a 67 442 hardtop and going to paint it the original code Y Saffron. Just looking for advise on which paint manufacturer has the best formula for Saffron. I am also thinking of using single stage urethane instead of base clear and looking for opinions on this also. Thanks Steve

I painted my '76 with PPG single stage urethane 4 years ago, the color was a dead nuts match to the original lacquer that was on the wheels. The code 50 Cream is similar to Saffron. I painted a few GM cars Saffron yellow back in the 80's with DuPont Lucite Acrylic Lacquer, don't have that option today. The straight urethane is the way to go IMO.
