Desert turquoise

[HALIFAXHOPS]

I do love that color. Did not like it at first till I saw a Cuda with it. Going back to it since it is original to the car. Got a gallon of it mixed locally at of all paces a surplus store that caters to tools and body supplies (surplus city, Mechanicsburg, PA)110 a gallon, Sherman Williams dimension. Think all together it came out under 300 for all I need minus primer.

I used Nasson SS from a local place for the dash... I hated it. It was super thin and the metal flake just floated and aligned vertical. The Motobase I shot just laid out and covered instantly. Took 4 coats of the Nason to get it to cover reasonable...

So here is the 2 turquoise colors that @HALIFAXHOPS posted in the paint chip above on the wife Dart dash.. The car will be the darker one even though it was originally the lighter on the exterior. These are different than the truck turquoise you are looking at but thought you may want to see these. Chad now has the code for the darker one. Not sure about the lighter.

The lighter turquoise is really a great color

Guess this car is kind of rare. Actually has only 5K on it but never washed so has ALOT lower panel rot, but floors are perfect. Man try to find good body parts! pushbutton slant which is rare most were 273's and only option was power steering of all things.

Jim, I am going to get in touch with them this week I really like the one cover deal instead of going over it two or three times. The nice thing I'm looking at with your cars is the colors have not been hurt from our sunny days. Which for me is a big deal.

It is a great ride the stance on it is just right. Has great body lines and of course the color makes it attention grabber.

One day it will come off the lift again pretty ripped apart right now.

I know the feeling one day I will drive my dream again just don't know when. But that's half the fun building that dream that keeps going
