Mr Phil

first part of the question is can anybody give me the paint code for the BOM GTO, the som Trans Am and the yellow CETA?

my next question is for the paint guy, my car is currently black but I am probably getting it repainted this month and those are the three colors I am debating between. With it being black will it cause any headaches with repaint? Obviously the car would be sanded and primer before paint.as far as the BOM and SoM paint option is that going to be a difficult color too match? Like is there mixing of colors that need to be done or can you purchase those colors directly. the reason I ask is because obviously I'm going to a paint shop and if it's going to be too difficult for them to do I'm just going to go with the CETA yellow instead.

and if any moderator need to move this to a different section that is fine, I'm on my phone at work and the service here is horrible and this was the easiest place for me to post it then it's mainly Trans Am related anyways

Are you doing any body work on the car, for the use of primer. If no body work, the original paint is the best ground coat for you. Just sand with 400-600 grit sand paper for adhesion of the new color. Go to your local automotive paint store and they will mix your color right from the manufacture color code. You can also order a complete basecoat & clear set up online .

Mr Phil

the paint shop would be Taking care of all the dents and dings on the car as well as primer and sanding

Mr Phil

and how reliable is my local auto store on mixing a paint? Because most auto stores like to use their in house brand on parts and such and I don't want to get a cheap In house paint

Mr Phil

Anyone?

how could we possibly know how reliable YOUR local guy is? we don't even know what kind of store it is (PPG or one of the others). I would suggest speaking with the body shop guys and see what they think, odds are thats where they get their paint from.

Mr Phil

well he said local auto parts store so he made it seem like he was referring to going to a pepboys or autozone or some crap like that

NO, he said "Go to your local automotive paint store"

definitely NOT Autozone or PARTS stores, you wanna PPG store or even in some places Sherwin Williams does auto paint, why don't you just let the body shop handle it, they'll get a better price on paint then you walking in off the street (atleast with PPG).

Mr Phil

Ok I just looked at the paint codes u gave me and it said Barbados? What is the brazen orange metallic I've read about?

Mr Phil

Anyone know?

My personal opinion would be to retain factory color - even more so with red or black, but that's me.
Also, my opinion, go big with paint or go home. Not a place to skimp.
Here's pics of my project. I used Spies Hecker in a down draft oven. My body guy no longer paints, but we transported to the booth for the spray.

Mr Phil

yeah I hear what u mean but I have always had black cars and I'm just looking for something different, but I'm definitely not planning on skipping any corners when it comes to painting the car lol
