Parade Green Paint

["David Schwandt" <finsrus@xxxx>]

Hi Gang!

Dave Schwandt Here,
Just relayed the good news about the 1/4s to my body shop that at present has the C driver door to strip and iron out the creases. They were asking about paint color. They have the correct Chrysler code for Parade Green and they use DuPont products in their shop. I'd like to do the car in Base/Clear instead of the old DuLux which is all that is available from DuPont so I'm told. Need to get some legwork done on a formula for the Base/Clear.

They suggested getting the DuLux and spraying a test panel then getting a picture of it that they can then get a formula for the base/clear??

Any paint folks out there care to weigh in on this for me? The Base/clear....Is that a good deal or what? I really don't know squat about paint but I do want the car as close as possible to the original color tho. Not concerned about the "orange peel" finish. 

There is original paint under the wide windshield upper moulding. Would that do for their "picture"? It seems to me to be a really light color compared to what is inside the trunk lid. Speaking of inside the trunk lid, that paint is really a mess with runs and streaks, just like the original paint on the firewall.

Any input on this would be appreciated greatly. Perhaps someone out there has done Parade Green and already has the proper code for the B/C coat.

Thanks!!
