Paint question

[Bootscootinboog]

Was the 80 series ever available in a pearl white finish? Trying to refinish my hood and touch up a few spots at the moment. I ordered some paint from napa based on the color code and after applying it realized that they don't match at all. Thinking it may have been resprayed at this point but maybe I'm just dumb.

IIRC, all the white colors are single color and flat; mine two '95s are anyway. It's possible that the OEM paint has faded and that is the reason for the mismatch. My Jan '95 looks very different than it did before I had it repainted. The white is noticeably whiter than my unrestored Jul '95.

No “pearl effect “ white paint was ever offered on USA spec 80 series.

Thanks for the feedback. I looked inside the frame of the door and the paint is definitely different so I do believe it has been repainted. Guess it's back to NAPA to see if they can help me find a close match.
