MOPAR VIRGIN's 1968 Barracuda Convertible RestoMod Journey
So in our research, we learned that in 2010 Dodge made 450 special edition Challengers in a paint called Furious Fuschia that was on the cover of Motor Trend. No chance I was going to find 1 of 450 in our area to look at, but it is also known as Tuscadaro on Jeep Rubicons. We happened upon one at a regional car show and felt it looked to drab (e.g. not like the magazine cover). Our Mopar Friend recommend we talk to a paint supplier who color matched his '68 brown Roadrunner perfectly when someone had backed into the side of his car. Turns out the associate had been mixing paints for 40years and even painted a car for Carol Shelby when we was living in SoCal. We explained our interest in the 2-stage color, but wanted it to look lke the magazine depiction. He suggested dropping a few pigments from the paint and test it on white, grey and black bases.
