69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

Looking great! That's the way I remember Daytona Yellow looking back in the day! I see too many at car shows that are off-color to my eye. They look too much like lemon yellow or something too bright.

I looked at some pieces from my car when it was painted in 1982 & it had a greenish tint to it. My paint shop had to work with the color for a while because some of the toners no longer exist. They finally got it correct & it matches the factory paint that was remaining on the inside top of the LH quarter, the area that's covered be the rear décor panel...Joe

As far as paint goes, I like yellows even when they are brighter, but I wanted to get this one right with the correct DY color. Ron is using the Sherwin Williams ATX basecoat/clearcoat system and matched the Daytona Yellow perfectly. The test cards he sprayed were spot on with the original finish found throughout the car. I am very happy with the color but cannot wait to see it with black stripes and clear later in the week. I'll head back up when it's ready to stripe.
