1969 Camaro Z/28 w/Special Order Paint

[cook_dw]

Going back and reading through some of the Team Camaro thread; I noticed that the owner at the time and the one that paid to have the inspection done asked that it be looked at again but nothing more was mentioned.. Was there nothing more that could be done?

As for paint chips, don't make me laugh.

I have a hard time believing that the original owner made up a long story about how his wife wanted purple/EO and they specifically special ordered it and got it but didn't like it. What does he have to gain from all this, beside a little notoriety?

Just wondering, is EO a multiple stage paint process, like a base silver than a purple over? No idea how that color was painted, but wondered.

Just for comparison sake.

Lighting, angles, and dirt will change the appearance of a color in a photo.

I gotta say the roof comparison with the chip is a deal sealer.

can you put the chip of EO and cortez silver against the roof without the white borders??? id be interested to see the difference then. Looks like the pics of the car now are under fluorescent lights... any pics of the car now in outdoor lighting???

That was especially critical for those processes where the front clip was painted in a separate part of the plant (or in a separate plant on the other side of town) and were expected to match the body. Everything has to match the chip.

Otherwise it wouldn't matter.

Thanks.... case closed in my opinion...

What a joke. Here's some more paint chips for you. Any of these look real?

In case you didn't notice the finish of the car as restored doesn't match the OE paint in the roof photo.

The only &quot;deal sealer&quot; is the people who actually saw the car.
