Re: Fathom Green Paint
Schoneye is right on re: the jobber's experience. I only go to paint supply stores where I know the guy behind the counter is also into restoration, they will know exactly what you want, why you want it that way, and how to get it for you!
For my R.Green car, the hardest part was finding an area on the car that still had some of the original paint. A prior paint job had been done on the car, including jambs, etc.. So, I pulled a fender and hacked out a piece of the cowl, got it scanned, and will then weld it back in. It can be a lot of work, but I want the paint to match what was put on the car back in '69, at that Nova plant, on that day!
Pic is before I bought the car, notice the replaced trunk lid - normally an excellent spot for a prophet!
