Re: Exterior and Underside paint colors




Butch, On your paint choice it depends on what kind of look you want in the end.This is my personal preference. Laqure or enamel gives the look I want , but is not very durable paint. Most paint jobs these days are basecoat-clearcoat. but the finish is not for me, Yes it is super shiney and smooth, but that I think is all on the surface. __I do not care for that much gloss. Now I have seen BC-CC that did not look that way, but I don't know how they did it. I am going to use Urathane without clearcoat as I think (like with enamel or laqure) that the reflective qualities ar deeper than the surface...........................................MO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Butch Edison" <waedison@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Subject: Exterior and Underside paint colors



My 64 red Sport Fury is going to get full body and paint this winter. I bought the car a couple of years ago after one of our forum members, Steve Miner, was kind enough to inspect the car for me. Thanks Steve.

The body/paint guy I'll be using is an expert, but not necessarily in Mopars. He'll be painting the exterior in the original Ruby Red color, but he says I have some choices as far as the type of paint he'll use. Rather than miscommunicate what he told me, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you as to what my paint choices are and why you'd pick one type of paint over another.

Also, the underside of the car has undercoating on it. It looks like the base metal is painted a dull red. Can anyone tell me what it should look like without the undercoating? Was the complete underbody painted red? Same red as the exterior? Were the areas where overspray would show up, things like that?

No where better to ask questions like this than right here.

Thanks everyone. /Butch/ Ferndale, WA
