Hi Gang!

Dave Schwandt Here,
Just relayed the good news about the 1/4s to my body shop that at present
has the C driver door to strip and iron out the creases. They were asking
about paint color. They have the correct Chrysler code for Parade Green
and they use DuPont products in their shop. I'd like to do the car in
Base/Clear instead of the old DuLux which is all that is available from
DuPont so I'm told. Need to get some legwork done on a formula for the
Base/Clear.

They suggested getting the DuLux and spraying a test panel then getting a
picture of it that they can then get a formula for the base/clear??

Any paint folks out there care to weigh in on this for me? The
Base/clear....Is that a good deal or what? I really don't know squat about
paint but I do want the car as close as possible to the original color
tho. Not concerned about the "orange peel" finish. 

There is original paint under the wide windshield upper moulding. Would
that do for their "picture"? It seems to me to be a really light color
compared to what is inside the trunk lid. Speaking of inside the trunk
lid, that paint is really a mess with runs and streaks, just like the
original paint on the firewall.

Any input on this would be appreciated greatly. Perhaps someone out there
has done Parade Green and already has the proper code for the B/C coat.

Thanks!!

Subject: paint finish

Dave Schwandt's letter brought to mind an interesting dilemma when it
comes
to refinishing my 300F. I want to refinish the car correctly to the
highest
standard. Should I allow the "orange peel" to remain? Should I clear coat?
What is the best method that will not cause penalties at show events?
