Hi all,
Via the excellent Chip Chart site of AutoColorLibrary.com I now the correct color code for my car would be DDL-12001 ('59 Crown Sapphire). Unfortunately I haven't been in the position to attend any paint judging school/seminar or workshop of the NCRS (I really would love to attend!)
Now I want to start the preparations of getting our car repainted as close to original as possible next year. Currently the car has an incorrect BC/CC paint job and the color is a bit to greenish.
To get it right I would like to get as much info on the paint and paint procedure as possible. Questions that come to my mind are (but any additional information is also welcome):
1) How can I be sure the mixture, amterial and color metalic particals are correct?
2) Is cellular lacquer what was used back in 59?
3) How many layers of paint should be applied to the car and what time should be obtained to dry between each layer?
4) Are there any sites/articles available about this topic?
5) Any do or don'ts ?
every response is appreciated!!!
greetings,
Rob.
