Default Re: 1970 Daytona Yellow Z/28 paint

I don't think any of the manufacturers have a predetermined 'perfect match', regardless of what a local paint counterperson might tell you. I believe the best way to match your original lacquer color with today's urethane single/two stage products is with a scan. Each mfg calls them somthing different, ie; 'profit' etc... but they scan into their computer a nice flat section of original paint, and then mix up a pint of paint. You blow some of the paint, and compare it - in the sun. Keep trying until it matches, it's trial and error, but it works!
