paint ideas with Millennium Yellow Help

thinking of putting the Abalone flake with the rosetta red pearl on my grabber with 04 vet Millennium Yellow want to make it stand out in the sun but keep it yellow

 

no comments ??

 

Gonna be bright!!!! Just a bit hard to imagine the color.

 

I believe that color will stand out in a nuclear winter and at midnight.

I like it.

 

Only cars I like yellow is the wolkswagen beetle

 

Can you say expensive? We just painted a yellow Maverick. It was a Mercedes color and it was over $130 a QUART! It took 6 quarts just to cover the car plus all the jambs. I can't even begin to guess how much that yellow paint would cost. Scarey stuff!

 

Hey Jean, ever price House of color paint? I got a buddy with a 38 Ford coupe painted with HOC yellow. He said the paint was close to $3K.

 

Yes we have priced House of color paint. It's great stuff, but it cost more than a lot of the cars it goes on. Way too ritzy for this part of the country.

 

well picked up 1 gal of DuPont Millennium Yellow paint $300 bucks
but it will look SWEET :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

 

I hope that's enough Dave, might be short...

 

hey i went by what wardf said he said 1 gal will more then do and have some left over

 

i know marks took 6qts and i was going to get 6qts

but the guy at the dupont store and ward say 1 gal will be enough

 

Are you planning to have all the jambs painted too? The reason I ask is because Mark had all the jambs painted and he has a vinal top on the car and it still took 6 quarts of paint to do the job. That yellow paint was quite transparent, so it took more to cover the car. I hope 1 gallon will be enough.

 

thanks me too

 

If my memory is correct, David used a little more than a quart on my jambs.
He then used a gallon on the body, and has a little left over for touchup.
That was 2 coats of Dupont 'Ford 2B'. Then it was 3 coats of Chromaclear.

I think he billed me about $900 for paint and clear alone.
