Just a thought about the paint guide in the event that anyone on this board has any editorial say-so about this publication ----I think that it really does the restorer a disservice by not giving paint codes or formulas.Granted, their disclaimer that these codes vary over time and by manufacturer is valid.However, every paint dealer that I've ever dealt with can work with just about any manufacturer's number that you happen to have.Also, the chips are so small that the computer matching is not a viable option either since, at least in the case of my local PPG dealer, at least a 2 X 2 chip is needed. I happen to use both lacquer and the single stage urethanes and having to look through stacks of chip books for a match is a pain in the neck.I think it would be great if the people responsible for the paint guide would print an adjunct appendix with the major manufacturer's codes. --- Doug Handran Gainesville, GA |
