68' Valiant 4 door
i am using their clear coat. 1 of the 12oz spray cans would probably be pretty close for all four wheels. if they're in primer, i would get two cans. if you're just over coating the factory paint, one would probably do it. they both lay down pretty good. i didn't do any sanding when i did the engine compartment, but i'm still happy with it. the paint code on the fender tag is FF1, mist green poly per the old PPG paint chart.
so, going by the names on the web site, i tried the Mist Green Metallic, the lighter of the 2 greens it looked like it could be, (paint chips could be larger on the web site). but when i shot the engine bay, it was way too light. redid it with the darker Avocado Green Metallic, which by the PPG chart would probably be the TT1, and that's very close. it's so close i can't decide if it's the same or not, depends on the light. plus it's tough to match a color on the computer. i ended up using up the rest of the lighter color as a base coat for the darker in the trunk, but ran out of paint, so waiting on that, but i think it will come out pretty well.
the body shop used the paint codes and mixed per the PPG chart, and that came out perfect (to me) based on the door jambs.
i don't know if that helps ya...
