Im about to paint my maverick..its a 73 somewhat as a sky or baby blue color. I want to paint it back to original. Anyone know the name of the color and where i can buy it? Thanks, Mike
Not sure myself... I might try going into a auto paint store and look at some samples. The blue I want is competition blue. That is what I am wanting but I will compare it to some others side by side just to check out other possibilities. Just talking outloud, I see you want origional. Looks kinda like -> Mine looks kinda like ->
I looked it up on that maverick site and its light blue. Im trying to find the color online and havent had any luck so far.... Heres the codes if anyone wants to help...i would appreciate it PPG-2403 Valspar-L312 Dupoint-5366
How much paint to paint our cars? Door jambs and under hood incl... Without an answer, i'm guessing 2gl...
That's probably a good guess. I really don't know the exact amount I used. I just mixed what I needed as I needed it. You also have to know if you are going to use single stage or base coat/clear coat. Base/clear you won't need as much color but lots of clear. Personally I would not use anything BUT base/clear.
looks like maverickman did it with a gallon...it says 2.5 quarts but theres no way...thats gotta be a gallon http://www.maverickman.com/BlueMaverickInBodyShop.html
How much paint you need(formula) It takes 7 oz per panel per coat on average.Colors with low coverage will require a bit more.Now decide how many coats you want to put down. Heres the formula:7oz per panel X number of panels X number of coats. This will tell you how much paint you need within a few ounces. Good luck.
so you count the hood,front fenders,doors,roof,trunk lid, rear fenders? sooo 7x9=63 with 3 coats would be 189 ounces? correct?
I found some paint on jesse james website...its $100/gallon. What would the auto mfg paint code be? http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1973-ford-pg01.jpg
Except for custom colors(non production paints),most paint manufacturers use factory color codes for their factory colors.Which color are you looking at???
