So I got good news tonight.

I'm driving up to PA the week school gets out to work on my uncle's '70.5 Camaro. The plan is to pull the wheels, bumpers, and trim and strip the 35 year old lime green paint. Then we'll spray on a coat of primer and bring it to my other uncle's [in law] body shop to be painted. This is what I've been wanting to do for the past 4-5 years.

For the color, my Uncle and I are on he same page in that we want some kind of grey metallic color with the obligatory racing stripes down the hood and trunk. I had thought of Dodge's Charcoal Metallic (or something like that) as the perfect color. It's used on the Rams.

But, being that the paint is still a current color, buying it will be expenisve. My question to you is, where can my Uncle and I find a similar metallic grey color that won't cost as much as the Dodge color? I assume we can mix our own, but I don't know much about that. I'll have to take a trip to our trusted body guy this week and see what he thinks also.

The car will get a few coats of clear as well, if that makes any difference.

TIA,

TIA,

Why should it be any more expensive than any other gray color? I don't see how it being new should make a difference as they just mix it to formula from the base color and tints they have just like an old paint color.

will match any color you want and if it's a special they will give you the mix rate formula so you can have some touch-up made later on.

here you can find the color your looking for
