Lol, your right about the $. When looking for paint for my 64' ( med. turq.) i must have done 15 spray outs, no kidding. I did as you are doing and had them sent me one of theirs and after seeing it there was no going back. They nailed it and thats hard to do with the formula/ material changes. Good luck with your project , looks like a nice car.
"Citron" is a Plymouth name. Gold Poly Metallic is what Dodge called their color. The computer copied paint chips are a long ways away from what the color really is. There is a link below the Barracuda photo. Here's a Barracuda that is Citron.
I can remember your quest to get it exact. Our. GG1 67 is a different colour from GG1 68. I have a piece painted side by side really different, but PPG mixes came through.
Yep, is it gold or green. It's like the paint is green with gold metallic. You would swear the original paint had pearl in it but back in 66 I doubt it.
Should note these are 67 colors.
Mike, it's funny you say that because i said the same thing about 64' KK-1 and that seemed to be the part that the modern day paints were missing in there formulas- the flop. Kolor Korrect nailed it. I had PPG store and a RM store try to color match a Kolor Korrect spray out to see what would happen, they couldn't get close enough for a decent match even through it started life as a PPG products. There is definitely some science/ art to matching the old stuff.
I had my '64 painted couple of years ago. My body and paint guy says that supplies have almost doubled in cost since he bought stuff for my car.
