Re: 1970 Daytona Yellow Z/28 paint
Your concerns to get the color right are well founded. Some colors are more troublesome than others and no one mfg has his "crossover formulas" all correct today. I went thru holy hell getting 67 Marina Blue dead on last year and had two orig paint cars plus hidden area paint samples to compare. I got it, but thru a custom mix modification to a PPG formula that was not right. On the other hand, just did a 67 Corvette Marlboro Maroon and PPG was amazingly right on as mixed, and a color that very often looks wrong and frustrated us in the past. As for Daytona Yellow, I may have saved you some legwork. I am doing my COPO Chevelle and have found Sikkens has this one nailed. Be careful with others as Daytona can easily take on a "greenish" direction we have all seen over the years on repaints. Daytona Yellow is a dynamite color when right on but looks like hell if off a little. Talk to me if you need more info or I could do a spray out panel and send it to you. I have lots of good area on my car to see original color and a 69 Corvette wiper door taken off a car long ago in perfect orig Daytona Yellow.

Re: 1970 Daytona Yellow Z/28 paint
I have a LA built 70 Z28, Citrus Green, and noticed that the underneath has been undercoated. There is no red oxide primer as in the Norwood cars but a dark green primer color of sorts. This same color was painted inside the car sheetmetal as well. What would be the correct color for resto on an LA car? What was their normal practice for painting the undercarriage? Thanks,
Paul

Re: 1970 Daytona Yellow Z/28 paint
The 2nd Gen L.A. Camaros were primered in a shade of BLACK.
I doubt if anybody could explain why your car has DARK GREEN on it ?????. Could you explain where your underbody is undercoated and/or to what extent. At Camaros at Carlisle 2005 the judges had a involved discussion about 1970 Camaros receiving NO factory undercoating other than the rear wheelhouse area and some of the trunk extension.. I'll try and show pics of my own L.A. 70' Camaro Survivor Chuck Sharin
