I literally just signed up. What a great resource. I am just about to paint my project 60 and I can't seem to make up my mind on the color. I would very much appreciate it if some (or many) of you could post pics of your 60 series in beige 464 4e9 4e8 4g8...even a 416 if it exists. Or any beige or tan for that matter....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Beige 464
You picked a good color to want.
Mine was repainted recently with a two stage paint job. The 60s came single stage from the factory. My clearcoat could be making the color seem a little different.
Here you go

Nice. My headlight housing is not chromed. I'm wondering if it was repainted by the previous owner or if some variants came with black headlight housings. I'm not opposed to the black housing....it makes the round headlights stand out even more. Chroming them during this restoration would be challenging where I am from.
You can buy the headlight housings on EBay

Good tip. Thanks Javelin.
No problem!
It's the best 60 series color, IMO. Can't go wrong!
Roughly how much did your paint job cost?
Like 5500.
It’s a complete Two stage paint job. Took out all the glass, trim and did all the jams.

I'm from manila and labor is relatively cheaper here. My full body restoration cost roughly $1700. It is also a two stage process using DuPont paint. It is taking a while though because of all the rust. I'm going 6 months already and it might take another 2/3 months t o complete. In the meantime, I'm working on some other stuff like reupholstering the seats.
Nice! That’s a good deal. I’m super picky on paint so I don’t cheap out on body work. With paint jobs you totally get what you pay for around here...

Your paint job came out beautiful. One of the best 60 I've seen.
