NOTE ON PAINT CHIPS AND COLOR MATCHING: Paint chips make a great collectible, but experts agree that they should not be used for mixing paint formulations in the repainting of a collector vehicle. These chips fade, oxidize and degrade over time just as paint on a vehicle does. Also, they were a special formulation of paint made specifically for paint chip books, not for vehicles. These paint chip sheets were developed so a body repair facility could identify the correct color of a vehicle, and then order the correct corresponding code for the paint. They were never intended, nor should they be used to mix up a batch of paint today. With your code identified, most major paint companies can mix a batch of the correct color based on the original spectrographic readouts for the manufacturer’s color. When in doubt, the web site www.autocolorlibrary.com can help you get a modern mix of your vintage paint.

I need some expertise and experience on this one---I am trying to match paint on a 58 FURY. If one has an ORIG AREA of protected paint (under the mirrors and taillight trim etc),after 50 years,,,will that orig enamel go a tad darker or lighter???? or do nothing??? I am able to obtain 2 samples (out of 5 that we started with). One is a half of a smidgeon darker (toward gray),,,one is a half a smidgeon lighter (toward cream or yellow) These difference are absolutely infinitesimal as I am just trying to decide. What would age have done to that virgin protected enamel ED ECKERSON ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 __._,_.___
