Hey everybody,
Thanks for the input. I'm past the point of no return on this. Here is what I did.
I had the shop order a few small quantities of different colors - at about $50 per test unfortunately. The results?
I also thought that the "Candy Red" didn't have as much life in it
Some of the other reds were "too bright" for a car with as long a rear end as the '66 Convertible.
The test shot of Cabernet really looked great.
I needed to make a decision, since the engine block is to be the same color as the body.
Selected Cabarnet. Had a gun put on the test piece, and got a very close match in a BC/CC so I don't have to waste $1000 a gallon to spray a block. Got that paint and here's what the motor looks like so far. The color is actually brighter than this photo looks like:
Thanks for all the help.
