Hay you never know.

When I was a around 19 I ran Firebirds, a girl in the neighbor hood had a Pink Firebird 400. her mother had a pink Cadillac. Her father owened a body shop. There would be 4 to 5 pink cars in front of the house on the holidays..

I'm still looking for the factory 63 split in pink...

Is there anything in the NCRS Judging manual about a paint code "SPEC"?

I live near you...drop me a line.

Spotted yesterday; Mary Kay PINK Cadillac XLT....the 'mary kay' pink is a very light pastel pink.

So they still do it.....Car had Mary Kay logos all over it.

I vote for 'putrid' more than rare!

Yes, I like a hot pink but the pastel pink is putrid to me too. I hate all pastel colours except pastel purple which I like a lot. I'd like to paint my 79 pastel purple but no one has a paint code for it in the present paint lines.

I hadn't noticed it until you said something.

Have you tried the 'House Of Color' line of paints?

Yes, I've spent a long time studying their colour charts. The closest I found was this:
http://houseofkolor.com/kolors/detai...-01&ref=kolors

Which seems to look okay on the computer but I'm confused by what's required to make this colour listed in the link above.

I've spent about $1000 having test panels in various colours painted and I estimate I don't have enough funds left to complete the project so I'm kind of out of luck in getting more test panels painted.

I understand!

When I was MUCH younger, I used to build model cars by the dozens, but like most 12-13 year olds, I was on a limited budget. So, when I bought a can of the customary Testors enamel, budgetary considerations required me to spread it over 2-3 models.

I was on a "purple kick" for a while, and painted a both a '62 Corvette and a '32 Ford coupe, similar to the one you posted, in Testors metallic burgundy, which was very similar to the HOK color sample that you posted....
