Re: Green LS6 progress
So what is the general opinion on matching what is there vs color matching?
I am restoring a car right now and the wiper grille is extremely nice original paint on the bottom and I had it scanned and it was off from the color match. The Lemans Blue orignal paint scanned as a more muted color... It was Lemans Blue with more black in it (muting it) and it showed fine aluminum in addition to the medium ground aluminum... (I attribute this to the fact that medium gound aluminum which is half burried in pigment could scan as fine.) The Dupont paint man said that was very possible...
