The reason I ask is the medium blue poly which is original and faded real
bad on my car.
I was at a cruise in last night for a bit and a guy with a 442 convertible
had a very close finish color on his to mine but his was a very fine metal
flake with clear coat over it.  He said it was a GM color and would get me
the number if I wanted it.  It was like a silvery blue and I thought would
look nice with my blue interior.  I'm definitely not restoring this car to
sell.  When I'm too old, one of the kids will get it or maybe a friend by
then, I don't know.  So maybe I shouldn't have used the term "restoration".
Plus I'd like to install a grey carpet instead of the original blue one and
the interior is mint as is.
Are there any informative websites for repainting a car?  I'm having mine
painted as soon as the season is over here in New England (and the poly is
getting done too).  I'd like to "bone up" on systems and approaches so I can
talk intelligently with the body shops.  If I change the color, I have to
have the engine compartment, trunk, door jambs, etc., all done too and
undress all the trim.  Bumpers I'm all set with, maybe all-trim and special
T for the stainless and then some pot metal rechroming.

Is it just me or am I missing something, when I see the term "restored"
I expect the car to be as built, isn't there another term for cars that
have been gone through and have had changes made such as paint
or wheels? Does "restified" fit?

Personally I'm driving a restified clone.

I have a general question for the group (which might spawn into varying
other topics, I hope).
Here goes:
Would you tend to stay with factory colors and finishes when restoring your
car?
I mean exterior paint, interior fabric, carpet, etc.
I realize it's an expression of what and who to derail but given the option.
Would you prefer to stay with VIN OEM schemes?  What if they weren't that
nice?
Does it effect value that much?

I'm trying to decide which road to go down.
