Charlie Boy Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I used Chevy orange from Bursons, forgot what brand it was but I would say it's very close to the original. C Quote
fufu Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Yea, according to Brent who sold that 240z on eBay... its also a Chevy Orange. I'm guessing it would be some paint with high heat resistance? Otherwise wouldn't it just crack? Cheers, Fu Quote
Charlie Boy Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Humm thinking about it it may have been engine block enamel so should be ok... Quote
aegean Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Take it to any paint shop with a colour matching facility - most have them and get them to analyse it on their colour spectrometer. Quote
fufu Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I'd have to take care with the spectrometer machines... we all know a certain member with a certain ninja turtle car... as a result of the wrong diagnoses of colour. But i guess check it with a few places to clear it up. Quote

Lynton Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I believe in the US they even use Chevy orange to replicate color of airbox for restoration Lynton Quote
