Default Paint Store Results

Hi Guys,
This is interesting... Found the 66 T-Bird code G and it looks correct to me. The DuPont store said they didn't have a formula to mix it in the Chroma Base system. But they assured me they could tint it. I had them mix a small bottle of it in enamel so that I could compare. The PPG store had a formula for their DBC Deltron 2000 base clear coat system. So I had them mix me a half pint of it. The interesting thing, but also troublesome, is that they don't exactly match... I'd say they are close but definitely different enough that if you painted different parts of the same car you'd notice it. The PPG is just a little darker. This is from looking at 2 dabs on a piece of paper, I should spray a fender or something bigger with each and decide.

But thanks again for the codes, I do believe that is both the color I want and the color on CSX 3111, good job everyone you guys are great

Thanks, Chuck
