If you want the orig. color you should be able to get it from Jim Carter or some of the other vendors.
Good Luck

It is a really good color, like you said "champagne". Be careful to mix, shake the paint very throughly to keep a uniform color.

Did you have to bake it, how did you do it?? I called them to order it one day and they kind of made it sound like a real pain, so I decided to not get it, now I want to get it again, but I'm a little worried about having to bake the painted parts. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 | Hotrod A
Actually I bought the paint and then had it made up into spray cans by Napa and just painted it. Didn't even think of Baking. Just set it aside for a couple of weeks. Doug | | |
