is the body painted yet ?
 I am working on a correct mix for the Purple paint , a friend had 7 makes of FC7 made .... none were correct , usually too silvery & light in color

Not yet. All i've been told is that the paint will be PPG. I'm open to suggestions.

I know PPG is a very good paint maker. What quality is RM known for? Diamont or something like that is also the name of the paint manufacturer.

Awesome , I have a mix for PPG , I am going to checkk it against my paint first to be sure it is close

OK here is the formula for the Plum Crazy PPG mix , I compared it to my original paint today & it is just a shade dark using DBC Deltron 2000 basecoat
this is the codes & amounts to mix 1 gallon
 Code    Amount
624   -  1542.4
1687  -  2000.0
614   -  2224.0
1686  -  2336.0
622   -  2448.0
685   -  2521.6
1689  -  top off the gallon can

RM Diamont is a lower line of BASF,Glasurit is premier line,Limco is production line, Glasurit is some of the best paint systems avaliable,cost pretty penny too

I have no idea what it would look like in single stage urethane ??

The tail light bezels were dropped off with Bill Petrow (Special T's Restorations) during this year's Mopar Nationals. They were a decent set to begin with, which is to say they had less pits than most although not completely pit-free. Total cost for all three bezels came to $790 + $40 s/h/i. Here are some before and after pics.

The tail light housings will be cleaned; fitted with an nos reverse lense and nicely polished left and right tail light lenses, fresh gaskets. SEM Trim Black was used to reapply the black accenting, it's a near exact match for the original look and texture.

Mr. Petrow was friendly in person, answered my emails straight away and was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended

I see that RM Diamont is the lower line of BASF but how does it rate against other paint manufacturers for quality and longevity? Do I need to worry about covering or garaging my car to make the paint last or is it durable?

Last week i received the instrument cluster, cluster bezel, control panel, light bar, and ashtray back from Instrument Specialties. I decided to have the mileage reset to actual rather than zero. Here are some before and after pictures
