OHH, that hits home! as I have been thinking of "5 shades of grey" for my rebuild color scheme.

BUT, when I saw this post I was immediately thinking that shade of blue would definately be more fun....decissions, decissions?
Just so you know. While I was working for Ford I heard a story. Our paint engineers could not figure out why they could not get a good paint color match after repairs. They sent a couple of guys to Italy to check the painting process. They asked who was responsible for the paint. They were directed to Mario out back. When they found him he was mixing paint i a 55 gallon drum. A little of this, a little of that.

Ha ha. That explains so much. My car was lime green originally. Not a bright intense green like like Dodge used but a dirty, dull one that looks like someone spilled a can of cigar ashes in the drum of paint.
