RE: Reply: [ihc] RE: 1966 Paint Chart

["Peter Shubin" <pshubin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the idea.  Even if the color is not my favorite I tend to want to
keep an original color from the year and make of the vehicle.  I have always
found this desire to be a little strange since I have no problem with
gutting and changing everything mechanical just for the sake of making a
change and trying to figure it out.  Just don't change the color of the car!

My favorite for 1967 is Tahitian Yellow but my wife is asking for something
other than another tan vehicle.  The '72 Scout II is Marsh Grass Tan, the
Explorer Sport Trac is Pueblo Gold, and my Cherokee was tan.  I just don't
like washing cars.  The Bahama Blue Poly will probably go with a tan top if
it is the color I think it is.

Pete:

You may already be aware of this - but the color chips as shown on the 
autocolor web site may not be an acurate reflection of the color as 
physically painted.

My latest Scout's factory color doesn't look anything like the color as 
shown on the autocolor web page.

To decide if I was going to retain the factory color or repaint in another 
color, I had my favorite paint shop mix up a small aerosol spray can of my 
Scout factory color.

YMMV
