I guess I am still wondering why the original owner would have any reason to lie about the color? I can't see where he has any stake in this, so why would we have any reason not to believe him?

I can say FOR SURE that original paint 1965 EO lacquer seems to be a much lighter, more silvery hue than what you get today spraying PPG base/clear. We had my Dad's urethane base/clear EO Nova near an original paint EO car at one point, and the original paint car looked silver by comparison. Much lighter, and less purple.

At no time has anyone been accused of lying. As stated I do not question the car was ordered in EO. He has every reason to believe it was EO. Unlike yourself and many of the others I actually saw the original paint on this car. I have ample reason to believe it wasn't.

All this talk of bc/cc variation is bs. Were that true every car restored in bc/cc wouldn't look original.

Since I actually saw the OE paint nothing I have read here will convince me that car was EO. Feel free to continue convincing yourselves it was.

It is a light hue...OEM. E-O (Pastel )
The NASCAR 65 IMPALA pictured here is a perfect example of a &quot;mix in non lacquer&quot;. 50 years removed. That pics show a deeper darker pigment.

Clear coat in lacquer or enamel changes any color of base ....typically darkens it up.

William,

Have you ever met a guy from the Fisher Body division at Norwood who sprayed out of a paint pot?

Indigo colors are the most unstable colors in the paint spectrum.
Add years of sunlight,or flo lights,and so many temperature differences since then,and I could see how some may be mis-lead thinking it came silver.

William,

What parts were painted EO that should not have been painted?
