Mike, Hate is a pretty strong word, don't you agree?

We're pretty close on 70 Cranberry red, but nothing on Garnet. If you can find a jobber that can still mix laquer, have him mix you a pint, and spray it out as a guide to scan off for bc/cc. Dupont Centari if mixed from the old formula can work also. Generally solids take less tweaking, but I'm not the painter. I just hang the sheetmetal. Pm JustBadJoe. He shoots the color.

Here's my Garnet Red convert next to my nephew's original paint coupe. Let me tell ya, it's a tough color to get right... and no, I don't think mine is exactly right either!
