My plan just might work.

Legal to buy clear.

Need more tint.. But close.

And need to get close to lower green on chart.

Those bottles gave me this color. All of them.. Evert last drop

Amazing the difference when sprayed.

More yellow.. Or gold. To bring the green up.

Are you going to respray all the green or just the spots that need it? Those last couple of pictures looked pretty good.

Think I'm going to have to shoot the whole car.

Cause of the fire damage.

The color on the lower Erie green. Is totally different than the packard chip.

Plus. 60 years of sun fade.

Duplicolor it doesn't smell like lacquer.. But you thin it with lacquer.. Or clean up with it.


I have clear gloss Nitrocelious on order.

So i will see how that goes..

Duplicolor does dry in about an HR.

I dont have an exact mix.

Sorta like a cook. Some of this some of that

But I am following Packard's color tint.

Just dont get what they are basing their percentage on..

By adding yellow..

Brought the green out.
