Thank you PackardV8 for your input. Someone didn't stint when they had this car painted - it was an excellent job. were it not for the firewall and under package shelf in the trunk being maroon, and the fact Packard didn't offer these colors according to any paint chart I've seen, I'd a have thought it could be a very well cared for original. Like you, I think that the existing paint needs to be just "roughed up" enough for the new finish to stick. I thought at first maybe I could get used to it. I have photos scattered around the house. But I just think it would be so much more attractive in maroon.
Hearing your thoughts give me more ammo to take when I make the rounds with the car.
