RE: [Chrysler300] Gold Paint

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I really like that idea, especially if someone would bring a case to each of
our meets.  Can anyone tell me if spray paint can be Fed-Exxed or UPS'd?
California formula must be made from milk of virgin sturgeon lest the
birdies fall from the sky.  I spent the last 48 hours near Burbank.  Any
surviving birdie down there has got to be made from the right stuff, but
should be able to swim through the air rather than fly.

Will be interesting to see if the judges approve a single formula and gloss
for all???  I mean, if subcontractors and suppliers used different formulas
during model years we might be able to settle on one formula and process and
stick to it for a while.  With regards comparing to a 50-year old original
that has spent its life sitting on top of a hot hemi, bathed in head,
battery acid fumes, crankcase fumes, filter oil splash and solvent cleaning
by grease monkeys, slight to significant changes in color and gloss could be
expected.

Have had a few opinions rendered on gloss question and am awaiting yours.

or gold plated, white, red & etc. are OK for hot rods and dragsters, but not
our 300's)

This sounds like it might be a good job for the Reproduction Parts  
Committee.  So far, they have done a great job on authenticity of the parts
that have 
been reproduced.  Perhaps someone in the committee could contact  Tower
Paints 
in Wisconsin to mix up the correct color, and have the proper paint  mixed
up 
in their spray cans.  That way, all in the Club could have access  to a 
"blessed" color for the air cleaners and the valve covers for the
appropriate 
cars,.   McTaggart
