Just yesterday I took my Rangoon Red replica to the local A.J. Foyt automotive paint shop to get some touchup paint to deal with a few rock chips. Wouldn't you know it, their "spectograph" was broken (not to mention that the lady said it was wrong 90% of the time), so I took a chance on just giving her the paint name (at one time I had a shop ticket with the paint code on it, but haven't seen it since a fishing buddy allowed his ice-chest to leak all over my Cobra info).

The match was perfect....her color catalog listed a Rangoon Red for something like 1962 to 1971 for both Fords and Mercurys.

I really like the idea of making the primer the same color as the paint...have used the technique for some window trim on my old family home in SW KS. If I ever build a replica from scratch, that's the way I'll do it, too!

Cheers!
