Hmm, so you drove to North Carolina and did not stop in Greensboro to visit your old friend Michael Briggs?

Maybe when you come back to pick the car up. (Smile)

Absolutley will on the way back!

When I headed all my co-pilots bailed so I solo drove on a weekend. Nice drive but was long by Sunday evening.
Also had commitments in VA same weekend.
1900 miles, solo, lots of thinking......

One on the right looks like GM Maui Blue to me.

Center sample looks closest to the color you're looking for.

Of course all our computer screens are set up different.

Cheers

Thats it, screens do not aid in the process.
The two Guardsman are Shelby colors
The far right is a SPF Guardsman interpretation color, not sure of the origin.

CSX3006 was a lighter Guardsman however when speaking to the painter of it he said Guardsman and he to picked the left vs right.

Jeff, I vote for the paint clip on the right I have this one in the hanger that's pretty close to that color, I'm having a hard time not buying it. It has issues with the rear end that could run into serious money. Love the color! Cheers Tom.

Appreciate the share, really trying to match 3006 as it was my son's pic.
Love the feedback.

I still say, your color looks like a more metallic version of CSX2000s final color of four. It was not Guardsman Blue, Carroll did not want that color!

...the color is the hardest part! It will look awesome in any of the three. I am looking at it on two monitors, though, and it is different on each. It is not the best way to determine accuracy. Best if you can you bring the samples directly to the car for reference. Is that possible?

Nope 3006 has sold. I have pictures at LMC when I was with the car in first person but still digi screen.
Spoke to Ryan (Restorer), he chose left.
Difference is DuPont Guardsman (Original) did not use pearls.
New eco paint does, hence in direct light “POP” in direct light.
Pics I have after 3006 was painted indoors different, guardsman like.
Did a family “pick L-R” while including Ryan and David at ESP
Far left it is….. for now.....

While car is away trying to remove pipes from collector.
Tried everything before cutting.
Starting to get progress.

There you go! It is a hard task to pick the color. Interestingly, it looks like the original yellow on 2000 is the same as my car's color! Very cool!!

[1985 CCX]

Well pipes are clear. Now to re-extend the header pipes and it’s just re-Assembly

David Brown is getting traction on body/primer. (ESP Motorcars)
Looking forward to new beginnings.

I have asked for minimal fill as I don’t want a completely skimmed car.
Also to leave ripples on inside rolled edges to create original type feel of a comp car. Not a fan of the over restored.

The only way to rely upon monitors, phones, etc. for colour accuracy is to use calibarated monitors. As photographers my wife and I have a colorimeter that we use periodically to calibrate and re-calibrate 4 separate monitors.

[1985 CCX]

Precisely why I called the painter of 3006.
He also picked left
Original Guardsnan
