WELTING UPDATE 5/6/2024:

I have completed the samples for Martinique Blue and Goldenrod (to the best of my ability) and have submitted them for production(see the final samples below). I should have color approvals in about 4 to 5 weeks and production, if approved in 10 to 12 weeks. Martinique has now claimed the title of the most difficult color to duplicate so far. The photo below shows the final color chip next to a part, from a one owner garage kept car that was in an accident. I hope you all will be happy with my match.

I am still working on Atlantis Blue Metallic and now have access to an original one owner car that is having a freshen up including some paint work. I will get a sample from the spray-out for that car, but it will be a while for the car to
be an active project.

In the meantime, I have also run across original paint samples and cars for both Firethorn Red and Carousel Red (See below). So, I am beginning the process of trying to match those as well. If all works out as planned, I should be adding 4 to 5 colors to my offering this year. Thanks again to everybody who helped and supported my efforts.
