Not much of a shop question, but maybe it is.
The eventual goal is to paint my 65 Mustang. The original color was Ivy Green Metallic, and I want to stay in that range of color. It's a full repaint as there will be significant sheet metal work. (final paint is quite a ways off)
My understanding is that no one really has the tints to mix the older colors due to formulation changes , removal of lead, etc. But they can get close.
What I want to do is start with the 'original' color and make a few minor adjustments, maybe lighten it up a little and maybe a little more metallic. How do I work with the paint supplier to make this happen? And what is the smallest quantity that is reasonable to mix. I would like to spray a few test panels to see what it looks like. The local guy is a PPG shop, if I remember correctly, but is there a place I can buy online?
Thanks
Rusty
