Paint assistance

[Jeff T.]

During the past six years, time permitting, I've been restoring my 1966 L79 religiously following all the NCRS publications. I'm to the paint stage now and would like to get all of those details correct. Is there someone who can help me with pictures, information or anything to help me dial in a NCRS type paint job? I'm including pictures of my car to show you where I am at. Thanks very much for any information you may have.

Jeff,

Your workmanship looks very nice, that car is going to turn out great. Make sure to do some spray outs to check that paint color before you paint anything.

Jeff,

I recently finished restoring my 1965 Milano Maroon coupe. Tom Ames was extremely helpful in paint selection and vendor choice. He also provided information on where I could view a finished car (same color) that had been through judging. My color is one of the most difficult C2 colors to get right and Tom's guidance was crucial.
