    So, my 65 Project is getting closer to the paint stage. I was on my way to a job site and I saw an automotive paint store. I stopped in and asked about rattlecans, they said sure, $17.50 ea, Great I said, I want Parkway Green, 1965 Kaiser/Willys, Paint code 230, chip number 43161. monkeys
    He looks......... and looks......... then makes a phone call, and then tells me the mix code for that paint is no longer available.:?:?:?:?:?

    So, I guess what I need to know, was this guy just not wanting to do some digging? If I go somewhere else, am I likely to have the same problem.

    I can but the paint online, but the shipping charge is $64:(

    Any thoughts???

    Try Auto Color Library in San Diego - They did paint for my 66 Tux in rattle can... You can order over the phone and they will ship it to you.

    If you have a good automotive paint store near you they can match it and mix rattle cans for you.
