Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 Man, I'm not even close - just got the rotisserie built,a nd am sanding/ospho-ing/painting it. (I do have a couple of additions to weld/clean/paint that will allow me to use a couple of bottle jacks to jack the car up once mounted on the rotisserie that I have to finish, but these are extra pieces that aren't absolutely necessary) I will then have to figure out how to mount the car to the rotisserie, remove the interior and lights/front fenders (seats, engine, tranny and gas tank out already) in order to weld in floor pans/subchassis connectors. Will follow your advise on Zero Rust for underbody and interior. Some have ridiculed me at the thought of using the 3M undercoating, saying it will eventually crack, and to use bedliner type on the underside - I am undecided on that part. Only after all this and interior is done will I start on the outside - and then I'll have the rear Qtr to put on and driprails to remove. Fortunately the body is straight - not even many small dents! (of course, when I strip down to metal it may be a different story!!!) I have seen the Lemon Drop DuPont Hot Color and liked it... The Mazda (at least on the website) looks too dark - I want one that is almost flourescent. I swear I saw a Z on SpeedVision or Spike last year that looked great - I think it used to be Mr. K's car, and the lady that was his secretary now has it (I think). It was a bright yellow with just a tinge of green to it. I need to charge my digital camera and take a picture of a pen that has a color that is close...

Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 Not a problem for me - I pop in & out of a lot of forums and someone said "old tech" and someone else said cracking. I was specific about the 2M rubberized undercoating too. As I said, I haven't decided yet. Have you checked out the Autobody Store and its BBS? http://www.autobodystore.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 Here is one pic of the Yellow that I am looking for on a pen. The paper is copier paper and looks whiter, so you can imagine what the pen looks like. I will try to get a pic around noon in full sun to see what that will do for the picture.... http://hybridz.org/nuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=coppermine&file=displayimage&pos=-419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1975yellowBSPZ Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 My car is more of a pale yellow, non-original. I don't know the code. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=6753&password=&sort=7&thecat=500 people either love it, or hate it. I happen to like it more then many of the new yellowish colors that look like they were dipped in cheese whiz. I do think the fly yellow is a bit more striking. I did find that for touch up the John Deere yellow is almost a dead ringer for the color on my car - it's what I repainted my tire well with...so maybe it was painted at tractor supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 RacerX: Did you look at the picture link for the yellow color I'm trying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 This is actually a ball point pen that my wife brought home about 1 week after I bought the '75 Z - running strong but needs floorpans/paint. I immediately said "that's the color!" and took over the pen - for which I paid with a new Parker! I agree that it has a bit of green and in fact, HOK has a color called Neon Chartreuse, that aside from being too transparent is fairly close. I have always said I was looking for a bright yellow with a tinge of green to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc6wfs Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I painted mine "2000 GMC Compitision Yellow" It's a nice bright yellow.! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Jarvis Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 There are 2 different yellows on current Mustangs, one has too much red in it and is too orange for me, but the other is a bright clean yellow that I really like. It's close to a VW/Audi color. It doesn't appear to have any green to me though. I painted a Fiero a nice bright yellow with a green tint once, if I remember correctly it was a 70's Porsche color, might want to check into that. Good luck !

Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks a lot RacerX! I have been having a conversation w/the PPG rep (new one for my area) about the clear that Regal Nissan put on when I had the color changed on my ZXT in '95 that is bubbling/separating. I was gonna see what he could do for the color.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad-ManQ45 Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 RacerX - that color is very close - a lettle more 'flourescent' yellow to brighten it and I'd do it - half that and half HOK Neon Chartreuse would be perfect... Oh well - let's see what the PPG rep can come up with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
