Ok, got some more parts painted yesterday. Again, thanks for the paint code confirmation, for I thought I'd have to repaint these again. Since I'm trying to restore the old girl with a 50 make-over, there's a strong interest to stay original. Must have looked at to many internet 70 pic's so the image I had was a true white color.
An interesting side note is that when the guy at PPG pulled up the 901 white paint code, it showed it was applicable for three different vehicles. Not sure if the color mixing was different.
Ok, here the pic's to date as requested.
The problem with painting outside where I live is the bugs and other things flying in the air. Yep they landed on the hood and I tried a few tricks but it didn't work. After I painted it, I moved it into the garage. In the attached pic's, you'll notice a set of rear rims and two front rims with tires attached. I plan on putting all new tires on but at the moment that option is not available. So I took a pair of rims of a broken 126 frame and painted them. They will be temporary. The original rims are in the garage and need to be sand blasted. The rears are the permanent rims and came out looking good.
