Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
Mine was originally all dark bronze paint #528. Does anyone have a custom paint job that is brown with a copper tint and an off white or tan top

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
Is that the #522 med bronze or the darker bronze or a custom mix. Always hard for me to tell--they look so different in different light.

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
hmm, wonder what the difference between the 522 medium bronze on my '70 and the 582 medium bronze on yours--which btw is drop dead gorgeous.

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
I ask a bodyman at work and his answer was that originaly paint did not have clear coat on it, now often they put 3 coats of clear on. Also lighting makes a lot of differance.

If you want off-white the 528 color is a nice shade and would go very well with several colors including the med or dark bronze colors to brighten them up without quite the starknes of a bright white like 521 is.

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
Thinking about painting my 71 522 copper. But the chip seems so much darker than my 70 I had in this color fading?

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
Mine is a re-painted exterior and it shows up a bit lighter. The interior is the factory original and is a darker, richer colour. It appears a little bit "burnt orange" in the tin.

Re: Any brown/copper with off white top pics
Here's mine, had to do a little touch up on the firewall so I went to the NAPA store had them make me a rattle can of paint based on the original color it matched perfect, the paint is suppose to be clear coated to get a shine but out of the can it is the same flat as the firewall.
