It depends on what color you plan for the chassis. The powder coater I used
proudly said he had 8000 colors to choose from. I wanted "Healey Blue".
After a long look at his sample chips, found only one blue that was close, but
not exact. Went w/ that. Then had a couple of 1/2 pint PPG blues made up.
Not too happy w/ either. When you look at a group of blue Healeys, you will
see a range of colors. Gary Anderson said pick a blue you like and go w/ it.
He said the blue on his gold level car was probably not perfect either.
Finally, at the ABFM in Seattle last weekend I saw the blue I wanted on a
100M. Got the paint code from the owner, and am having some mixed.
I suspect that Healey Blue would be the hardest color to match to p.c.

Have you considered powder coating the entire chassis?
John,
was there any problem getting a good color match to the body?
