color ?

[webdevii]

just wondering if anyone has seen the American Hot Rod (Boyd Coddington) episode where they built the "67 corvette stingray? I really liked the color for my project but didn't catch if they mentioned the color Boyd sprayed on it. Anybody have a clue to what it might be?

Yes I saw that episode, and they mentioned that Boyd experimented with the color to come up with what is now called Boyd Red, Du Pont bought it and is selling it outright. You may have to purchase it from a dU Pont retailer as it is a special order and formula. This particular Red is not made with browns or oranges, that is why it is the vibrant slap you in the face awesome red it is.

864J - MAGENTA - 130.8
850J - BRILLIANT RED - 184.2
886J - OPAQUE RED - 230.8
150K - B/C BALANCER - 678.3
175K - BINDER - 862.8

This I obtained from dU Pont but is also obtainable from PPG it costs around $200.00 per quart
The above is the tinting guide.

Hope this helps
