Paint specs

[plschulten]

My coupe will be heading to the body shop soon, going with the Guardsman Blue and Wimbledon White. Anyone know of somewhere I could get specs on the "classic" or maybe original paint? Size of stripes, spacing, etc? Detail photos? Thanks

there are codes around for guardian blue and wimbleton white. You might go through the galleries and directly contact those with a similar paint scheme.

I think stripes look better with a taper - I have 8" straight on the roof and a half inch taper on the nose and rear. I have a grey body, and it is not perfectly symmetric so suggest you layout with tape and then look at it from all angles, including above (ladder or go up on your roof). |And 1" between because that is easy with 1" tape)

Jeff (Bat Man) Miller did my paint on my roadster - Guardsman Blue and Wimbledon White. He used Guardsman Blue PPG 12832 and Wimbledon White PPG 8378a.

Arvin,
Thanks for the pics and the paint codes. My kit arrives in October and that is the look I am after, looks great.
