I was wondering if anyone has pictures of a restored 70 442 in code 58,burnished gold,or a nice original.I am trying to get an idea of what the finished look would be.Faded,weathered,and poorly repainted stuff doesn't do it.

 

I found this link to this ad. See if this helps.

Yes,that helps.Thanks.
Anyone else?

 

My car is factory burnish gold, but it looks to have been painted twice. Different color of gold both times. I stopped at my local paint supplier last week burnish gold takes 10 colors in the mix. Just FYI, I thought that was interesting. I'd say that picture is close, cause it matches the few little slivers that I can see of my original.

 

This is one of the colors, in lacquer, that can change colors while you're spraying it!!
A change in humidity or air pressue could change it 3 shades!
5 coats could be 5 different colors!
Also, the 'factory packs' depended on the paint supplier, which back then, was 1 of 3!
I haven't the experience with the bc/cc systems to know how the colors match, but I do know the suppliers will supply various tints to the shop.

 

Not sure if this is a burnished gold or not? It's a little lighter than the above pictures.
