We have paint! I had a couple of colors to choose from since PPG has more than one formulation for Code 52 Garnet Red. One is a brighter red like Regal Red from the mid 60's GM color chart. The other was a deeper red and matched the rear speaker area, dash end, and floor rails that were still in their original factory color. I think the darker Garnet red will be good with the black stripes amd darker wheels.:)

PERFECT COLOR -- My personal all time favorite '69 color. Glad you chose the more "correct" darker version.

:cheers: :thumbsup:

Congrats, I like the color. :thumbsup:

Very nice. Looks awesome.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Thanks guys! I wanted a red that was a little less common and the factory color the car came in happened to be it.:cool: The body was in wetsand today and should be shot in the next couple of days.

Paint looks great. Is it going to get the hockey stick stripes as well?

Yep...black hockey sticks....floating in layers of clear. :thumbsup:

Here's a few more of the painted part shots. Hood, truck, valences, and front grill are in the booth right now. Car is all washed up and clean, in line and ready to go in the booth tomorrow, for paint Friday and dry time over the weekend. Doors and fenders will be re-hung so they can get the stripes laid out, painted, and then have the final 2 coats of clear applied. Doors and fenders currently only have 1 coat of clear.

Thanks for all the color compliments guys. The more that I see it, the more I like it. I wasn't sure I would get really excited again until I actually saw color on the panels. Now I wanna buy parts again. :)

WOW! The color is stunning. :thumbsup: Love your thread.

I can't wait to see the body in color.

GM CODE 52 (WA 3921) translates into PPG CODE 2076 ....but......we did a comparison tint to get it closer as the color techinically isnt avaliable yet in water based.

Very nice. She's going to look awesome. I like that color. Really growing on me. Can't wait to see the body painted.:thumbsup:

Looks killer. Nice choice on the paint color. :thumbsup:

That does look killer. Very nice.:cheers:
Keep us posted.

That baby's going to pop outside!!!!! GREAT color choice!!!! Man they got that bad boy lazer straight to awsome!!!!:wow:

Killer color! Really looking great!

Thanks! Yeah...really happy with how straight they got the body. Nice crisp lines everywhere. The body sealer joints look perfect like the factory did them.

Here's a few pics of the water base coat going on.
