Default Just out of the paint shop!
The sun came out today...
After 4 months in the shop, I got to see my 67 GP. Found in a shed a couple years ago. Still needs the new interior put in.

Fathom Blue Pearlcoat. BTW, there is no metallic element in this paint.

Car is a 428/360hp, Auto, AC, A.I.R., PS, PB, PW, rear window defroster. console; originally Mariner Blue/Black top, Parchment interior. Added or changed: off-white top. Rally IIs, gauges cluster, vacuum gauge, power trunk release, power door locks, headrests, outside remote mirror, all factory parts. Also KYB shocks, 1-1/8" sway bar, H-pipe Dynomax exhaust.
Car was stripped to bare metal for paint; found 8 different colors on the car. Color is a factory 2013-2015 Dodge Journey color. Much work still to be done. I'll post more pictures of progress if others are interested.

Beautiful car. How close is the Dodge paint color to the original Mariner Blue? I can't tell for sure - it looks similar but I think it's a darker shade.

When the car was stripped, 8 different colors were found on the car. I knew I wanted a dark color. I looked at the original color and while it had a lot going for it, I wanted something with a bit more character.
Talking to my paint guy about custom colors, he said that they are doing so many things with paint these days, it would be more practical, less expensive and easier to touch up if I chose a stock color from a newer car. He advised me to drive around the dealerships, find a color I liked and go with that.
I wanted to stay in the vicinity of the original color, so I looked for blue-green cars. One sunny day, I spotted this color on a Dodge Journey and it blew me away.
It has a LOT of pearl in it and NO metalflake. On a cloudy day it looks like a very dark blue-green. When the sun hit, it comes alive!

That's a great color! I have taken my mustang down to metal and it only had 5 different coats of paint on it.
