52 Garnet Red Paint
I need help concerning the 52 Garnet Red Chevy color for a 1969 Nova. Does anyone have the right GM formula versus the fire engine red color that seems to be out there? How do I get as close to original as possible?

Re: 52 Garnet Red Paint
Thanks Sammy
I won't be much help with that, best bet would be to match to the original paint if there is any  Like the underside of the trunk. I did this a few years ago with 66 Regal Red. Took a hood louver to the PPG store and my paint mix guy shot it with the ppg prophet gun and used the formula the computer came up with , perfect match. Maybe someone else here has shot Garnet ?? Shoney ?? Mike

Jeff [/ QUOTE ] On my red 68 I just had some PPG single stage mixed, real real close, the trunk is perfect original and I flashed a card aginst it first, Looks great!, If you go BC it will never be the same as oem, if you are looking for a oem look your best bet is single stage. If you have any good paint on your car trunk lid inside door, any major paint supplier can scan it. But PPG does have mix color for your code, as most major brands of paint. If your looking for bc coat you will need to scan it the mix codes are off they were never bc coat.

Re: 52 Garnet Red Paint
I also would consider using single stage since the Garnet red is a solid color, problem is alot of painters don't like to use it
I always hate lookin at BC CC under flourescent lights  Mike
