Re: [Chrysler300] Paint codes

Al -

Paint chips available at swap meets are notorious for being off a shade or
two due to exposure to the sun over the years. It's possible that the
Tropical Coral that it was matched to was in a book that hasn't had that
kind of exposure and therefore is a little closer to what it should be.

> When I purchased my 300 C in 1965, the color did not look quite like the
other Gaugin Red cars that I had seen.  I thought maybe mine had faded in
the California sun.  In 1969 I repainted it an unmentionable incorrect
color.  Now I am ready for a Gaugin Red repaint.  The paint store mixed a
perfect match to the color chip, but it does not look like my car of 1965.
I searched through the paint book, checking Tahitian Coral, and DeSoto Dusty
Orange, and when I got to ' 57 Dodge Tropical Coral, there it was.  The
footnote under the Dodge chip stated that Tropical Coral and Gaugin Red were
interchangeable, depending on the assembly plant  Anyone ever hear of this
anomaly, or could it be as simple as perhaps the original owner repainted my
car with Tropical Coral.  Insight anyone.?????
