Best place to get origonal colour paint

Post by JimmyJazz »

Hi guys,

Just wondering what your experiences are with getting paint in the colours these cars were painted in. I got some made up last time at the local SuperCheap and it wasnt too crash hot. Just doing a bit of a general touch up.

Cheers.

Go to decent paint shop, it will always be hard to match 50 year old paint but I wouldn't trust Super cheep. I got mine from a ppg dealer, gave them the paint number and the bloke said in his computer they are the same but with a 0 on the start now.
