69 YENKO NOVA NO STRIPES

G-Dog, Did you read any of the posts above?? If not I'll repeat what's been said in 2 other posts already. It was originally a special order color,Nutmeg Firemist, sold new at Yenko...so no, it did not come from Yenko in black.

Might be close, but doesn't sound like the right color.

Per Jim Mattison:
The Cadillac Firemist colors were excluded due to them having such a course metallic. These colors needed to be sprayed through a special paint gun. Even on a Cadillac, the Firemist paint was quite a costly option!

Not to argue the point, but perhaps this could be investigated further. We had a '69 GS400 special-paint car at Memory Lane a few years back that I'm pretty sure was a Firemist color car. Unfortunately I don't have access to the car or paperwork anymore, but it looked like the Caddy color to me...

Does anyone have a picture of a car in the Nutmeg Firemist? I am curious to see this color.

Guys..that is the correct color, with Yenko paperwork to back it up. If you want to see what it looks like in person, on a Nova, be at SCR11. Being a SCW car, I guarantee it will be worth the trip.

Although it's been quite a few years ago, I've sprayed Firemist paint. Maybe I'm just lucky, or more likely ignorant, but I had no problems pushing it through my old Binks gun. (And yes, it is a much heavier metallic flake.)

I doubt if the SCW 'Paint Guy' will have much trouble. He HAS a bit of previous experience!
