agreed.....i like that second one. How important is it to have a 67 color. There probably is a similar color for 67...... if I'm going "stock color"That second one jim posted is gorgeous
Napa sells Sherwin Williams.. Actually the "Crossfire " (was the low end, a decade ago...) flows like the old school Dupont Centari... That's a good thing...I used to sell it, mix it ..it carries a high price tag now..(400 bucks, for a gallon now, I paid 190 a decade ago for Sublime..)Only one PPG store in my major city says they have the ability to mix acrylic enamel now.
And they aren't on my route. So I've never been there.
The think I like about single stage no clear coat is I can touch up.
Take the damaged respray to the body line and hide it if it's not a whole panel to paint
This matter to a driver.
I always have used Sherwin Willams acrylic enamel in factory colors.
Use the hardener for gloss.
I keep my metallic bottom can siphon gun agitated while I'm spraying.
It is a little trickier.
But I I can do it......
If you use Sherwin Williams acrylic enamel, ask about have the thicker formulation.
I think they have two different lines in that.
Um yeah, I was in sticker shock the last time I priced a gallon of single stage. What used to be $125 with hardener now $450.Napa sells Sherwin Williams..

TCP Global, simply rocks, other than the freight...
You'll spot one eventually and be like that's the color.Dear FABO!
I can handle most things with my whip but cam choice and PAINT are my tough decisions. The cam will come later so that leads us to paint choice. I am not good with colors and it seems like the second generation fastback barracudas can be made or broke with paint schemes. I am drawn to that green/gold color, but am willing to try the super stock paint scheme. Black is always a good choice. I have black seat covers so I am tending to not go black as it will not have the huge power to back up the murdered out look. So, that leaves me with the green/gold, or super stock. Super stock will take more time and energy.....and what three colors will do it? Green/gold color is good, but with black steelies and dog dishes do you go with a white stripe or black? Would you stripe it down the middle or go with the rocker stripe? I have poured over the pictures and am really having a tough time picking. I think that the rear end of these cars can look really bulbous done up in just one color but the super stock is really flashy and wonder if I can pull it off. What about using matt/gloss finishes and similar colors to break it up........Its a big decision.
1967 barracuda FB 4 speed 383....I dont think this is a factory 383 4 speed as it has a re-assigned VIN. It is a mini-tubbed car and will have 325/50/15s on back.$140 for a quart of Dupont Mosaic base. Seems there was a huge increase when DE/MD went low voc like Cali
Thanks in advance for the weigh in.....I know ultimately it is a personal choice but it seems like a journey that all ya'all who have finished one ...have made.
Oh yeah...im digging that gold on the 69 Jim posted.Um yeah, I was in sticker shock the last time I priced a gallon of single stage. What used to be $125 with hardener now $450.

I like that too. Just a bit different. I'm not up on the old codes. Light Bronze?Oh yeah...im digging that gold on the 69 Jim posted.
i think were looking at different car lol81570 Bahamas yellow #999.
That's the color that looks closest off of tcp global factory chips for a 69 plymouth.....ya?
Color Chip Selection
Lower right on chart...
As I said in my original post.... I'm terrible with colors....ha ha! Looked close to me.
I can just about guarantee that's T5 Bronze Fire, if it's an original '69 color.That second one jim posted is gorgeous
I'd like to think I have better morals then him, but that's a religious debateDiy is picasso.
not tired of it yet Jim! Great info all in one place!
So what color is that second barracuda? The gold one? Is it T5 bronze fire? Tough to really compare without the chip.....
I still think it's bahama yellow #999
Thanks Jim!
The car is the picture is clearly painted with a metallic, or iridescent color. Chrysler also called these colors "poly". So it cannot be "Bahama yellow", since it is not listed that way. If it is a '69 color, and it isn't "Bronze Fire Irid." , then I don't know what it is, because there is no other '69 color that looks like that.all the cars in the pics are 69 M-Code Cudas as i figured i could rely on the people who restored them to have used the original and correct paint colors. the below pic is a combination of the 69 "bahama yellow" Cuda and the 69 paint chart. i agree with you... i think that car is painted 999 bahama yellow ....
