I am approaching the time to paint my 69 so I have another dumb question. This car has been repainted previously and in fact has a very nice finish. The car came from the factory in LeMans Blue and that is what is on it now. I had the local DuPont shop mix up some Chroma Base for me in the color code on the data plate which came up 1969 LeMans Blue. The new color is a whole different shade of blue. This is not from oxidation or fading of the current paint job as it is fairly new.
Is there a way to make certain the color going on the car is correct. I realize it should be in Lacquer, but I prefer the newer paint. I do want to make sure the finish color shade is at least correct. Any recommendations for this? Are there accurate paint chips available somewhere for this purpose. I'm sure this has been asked before, so I apologize for the repetition.
Thanks for the help,
Brad Hood
