thanks.   It should be a metallic color so I guess I will need to go with base coat + clear coat.   

Do you know if a single stage paint for the B5 exsist ?

I would like to use a single stage at least for the interior side of the body and the undercarriage.

EB5 used in 69-71 & GB5 used in 71 & after

Are you going to mix the paint yourself?If not,and you are going to use PPG, the correct code in PPG DBC basecoat for 69 and 70 is PPG #2019.It is a little diff for 71,72(darker).

Have just painted my 71 Cuda, and went with Sikkens water based paint. 69/70 B5 is in their catalog, and was easy to get.
For 71 B5 had to bring a mirror from another B5 Cuda to have color scanned and custom mixed.
