     :2thumbs: :droolingbounce: Your car looks great! Did you use the original Chrysler paint codes or did you custom mix the B5 blue? I am on the way to repainting my car and would like to know... I love how it is turning out!

    the exact mix...Duponts computer mixes it perfect, even states a date code for 69-70 for Chrysler...there's three sizes of flake in it too...it looks amazing so far.

    She shore is purdee now!!!!   :jumping: :swaying: :jumping:


    Just last week I had the paint matched to spot in my fender on my car. The original paint was Chromabase. I knew that the best shot I had at matching the metallic meant finding out what paint was used on it originally. I found the shop in VA and gave them a call.  After several years they still remembered the plum crazy Cuda.

    thats cool, so it matched nice?
    I'm not sure the cost of the gallon, but I will find out... the Dupont computer is like hooked up to several cans of paint, and it mixes it right on the spot...it's my friends body shop, I am no paint guy, so I wish I had beter answers on how it works...I do believe it was already a gallon or more used so far...and quite a bit of clear too... I looked at a plum crazy AAR yesterday!
