Coronado Beige '68 T451

Repainted. Picked out color from a samples of PPG, Dupont, and S. Williams mixes. The "color cast" of the paints were extreamly close with a slight variation on on darkness. Settled on the mix from Dupont.

Also note that the color chips that the paint dealers carried were from old color charts and their color changes over time (especially when painted on acid paper). You can see this from the scanned pages from autocolorlibrary.com.

I'll take a better picture and post up later.
