Re: [Chrysler300] Paint chip

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxx>]

Don't forget that the chip is also 35-40+ years old. It may or may not have
been exposed to the light or sun. If and when you get the chip check it
against an unexposed part of the car for color match. Under the package
tray, in the trunk, somewhere "the sun don't shine", as this will be more of
a true original color.

Ray Jones........Don't forget your parts for the Dayton Meet parts swap!
