Thanks, would you know the code for the burnt orange metallic? I’ll have to look for info on Matrix. I’ve only used PPG, old DuPont or more recently House of Kolor.(black which came out great on my 77 TA Bandit)SPI clear gets my vote. It is very forgiving and lays down great! I used Matrix base and have no complaints.
Of course epoxy prime first, then poly prime, wet sand the poly before base coat and it will be as smooth as can be...
The original paint code is FK5, confirmed by the fender tag, lower left corner, 2nd up. Any good paint supplier should be able to match it. Although I have never sprayed that color I have heard it is difficult to match the original paint exactly. On the show Graveyard Cars I believe Mark Worman discusses a solution for this, but I don’t remember what it was. Maybe someone here can chime in...
