Larry:

 

This is just a short story about my experience with paint availability in
California awhile back.  

 

About 5 or so years ago I wanted to restore just the under hood areas on my
'62 300 "Sport" ragtop.  My car is painted in the '62 color of Festival Red.
When I went into my local automotive paint store, (Note - an Auto Paint
Store, NOT a House Paint store) I asked the man behind the counter for a
gallon of Poly Urethane paint in Festival Red.  He responded that he could
NOT sell me this paint for use on an automobile.  But, on the other hand, if
I wanted to use this paint to paint my refrigerator in Festival Red Paint,
he could sell it to me.  Of course, I immediately responded that I was going
to have the most gorgeous RED REFRIGERATOR in all of Southern California and
move it out of the kitchen into the garage.  And that, my friend, is a true
story.  I doubt that that story would fly today but I still laugh at the
thought of it.  In those days, you could just drive 20-30 miles north into
Ventura County and buy just about any paint you wanted but not any more.

 

(By the way, I would take Mike Laiserin up on his offer to help you find
your Spanish Red single stage paint.)

Back to the 1966 300 M. It has become law in this poorly governed state 
that ALL auto paint will be water based this month. I want to paint the 
1966 in the correct Spanish Red it was born it and use some non-clear coated

paint. I have found a painter that will put it on if I can provide 2 
gallons of it. Who can point me in the direction of a supplier of REAL
paint? 
Hopeful in a hopeless state. L Jett
