Medici blue again!
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 7:50 pm
I would like an opinion on paint.
Can't seem to get Medici blue made right. Used George's [cabc26b] mixing data and the paint supplier didn't even get close. I was told by another supplier that the base colors have changed and I might not be able to get the mix right. Unfortunately, I had planned on getting the color scanned from my head light housing but found out that it isn't big enough or flat enough to do that. My body is up on a rotisserie with only the door sill's left for a paint reference.
I'm, in general, not a big fan of blue but have fallen in love with the original Medici blue that was on the car. If I don't get it just right I'm afraid I'll want to throw rocks at it!
Am I being misled? Should I look somewhere else?? The other supplier I tried said he couldn't even begin to mix off George's spec's.
