Chuck,
That's where I found the color in the first place. I spent much of last
Saturday in their shop looking (read: drooling) over color charts,
trying to envision what a 2" paint chip would look like on an entire
car. I like the Brickyard Red, and I also like a PPG color called
Shamrock Green (PPG # 45884). These are both pearlized base colors, and
take tinted pearl overcoats quite well. Since there are no mix and
match charts where you can try a tint over a base (there are number of
already tried and true combo chips, but not every possible combo) it's a
little tough to visualize what one tint over a particular base will do.
I had the PPG paint shop mix me a 1/2 pint of the Brickyard Red that I
then covered some black and white paint cards with. It looks darker
than I wanted, so I was hoping to see it on a car in the sunlight to see
if sprayed out it would be lighter.
