57 gaugan red???

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxx>]

Gauguin Red, after Paul Gauguin, the artist known for his use of bright colors, is much closer to Coral than it is to anything we might have in our minds as "red" like fire engines, or the flag stripes. And what you see "wet" in the can is not what you are going to have "dry" on the car after thinning and literally drying. Just like paint on/in your house, it will lighten a couple of shades when it is dry..

this is bill of bill's basket case in kennewick washington.

my car is suppose to be gaugan red color.

and i was going to go for it...until my guy who is working on the body
showed me a open quart of the red color (and i got the code from this
group)...anyway it was a long long long way from red...it was near coral (is
that right?).

now i've seen idaho georges car on his website and it looks a pretty
red...not coral.

so before i jump ship and paint my 57 white, someone clue me in a little
more.

but just in case does someone have the color mix code for cloud white or
whatever the name is?
