1966 Touch up paint for a Kelsey Hayes knock off wheel
 
Hey Guys
I just got this 1966 Coupe and with Kelsey Hayes with the spinner knock off Wheels . These are reproductions . I'm looking to restore the finish
Some of the paint has come off..
Anyone out there found a paint that matches that platinum Color?

Go to your local auto paint facility. They have an instrument to determine the color, shade, and relate a formula to match. Body shops use it all the time. Saves trial by guess efforts. Simple, fast, not expensive.

Thanks I did think of that I have used it before .
I was thinking that someone may have the color already.
Not much info online as to what they used . Platinum
Is what I think I've seen it called. Thanks JRS

? Glass tinting Green or smoke gray
 
Hey Guys
On this 66 Coupe I've found that I've got a mix of glass that's needing replace of not date coded correct ..:willy:

So I've decided to replace it all to avoide the new to old not matching.
It is A01 so my ? Is was the tinted glass in 66 only the green ?
I see you can get the 1 clear. 2. Green tint.. 3 Gray Smoked tint.
My NCRS specifications guide book dosent really talk about colors.
The car is red so I was hoping that I could use the Gray Smoke.
Plan to get it judged some day and don't like the thought of doing it
twice..
