I knew I would get some crap if I did that :)  I actually like the look of LBS cuda.....I spoke with him a while back...he said the paint code was a GM yellow 5728 but couldnt remember the brand..its a bright yellow....if anyone knows or has a hook up to get it cheap for me.....that would be great! I would rather have it yellow but money is really tight now...Lisas funeral and attorney fees to get temporary custody of her girls wiped out my savings....now Im about to get into a legal battle with her exes parents over custody....things just keep getting worse....

TCP Global has some of the best prices I have found. I have bought 3 gallons (2 x green and 1 x black) and it seems to be good paint.

Hi Lawdog, good to see you around the forum again, :clapping. I checked into that paint a few minutes ago and got the answer. The brand we used was PPG, it's GM  yellow code# 5728 and was two stage paint. Hope this helps, and I'll see you around. 👀

Had serious issues in my life and the car has always been great therapy.  It will always wait for you...

YES.........let the fun begin. Always fun when the color starts going down. It looks great, so post some pics when you get some color in that engine bay. 👍
