RE: [Chrysler300] (Chrysler300] Matador Red & other 300 colors

Sorry I did not say do not go by whatever color your computer screen shows for the color you might be looking for - however what I meant was, it might be worth ordering say a pint of the paint. You then have an actual mixed color that you can then spray on a good clean medium size large enough piece of metal/panel/sample card/piece, then take it easily to compare with old paint you might still find on the car, or with other cars with the same color. And/or spray on thin flexible strips/stripes you can lay over good original paint, such you can look at it from all different angles to see how it matches from all lights/angles.

 

If it seems pretty right on, you then order enough to paint your car plus also have enough as much again maybe as spare, if you planning on keeping the car?!

 

Christopher Australia - many south easern parts of Nation today had a mongrel cold wet/hail day for June, here in State of South Australia, our Capital City had it's coldest June day max temp for 88 years, 2nd coldest June day ever - but nothing as cold as parts of normal US winters.

Remember thought that viewing on computer screen to determine exact 
correctness still leaves a bunch of room for error since it will look 
different depending on which computer/screen you are viewing on. they all 
have slightly different settings.

Think of all the different pictures you see on the TV's you see in the 
store!
