Mid 50\u2019s Studebaker truck colors is a pretty cool one I have lol.\nTwo of my claims to fame when I was in the bodyshop business were color changes as one was a mistake the other intentional;\nI commissioned to have a 67 E-type re- sprayed, exterior only, where the painter ordered Signal red instead of Carmen red, before I could correct him he was almost done with the car. All of the original Carmen Red was intact where you would expect: firewall, inside of hood, door jams and trunk- you would think I should have totally lost it but the signal red really popped, and looked like a million! The work was for someone else, the car wasn\u2019t not mine, and they loved it too. Back in the early 90\u2019s you could get away with this, today it\u2019s totally original no matter what on an e-type.\nThe other project: \n1969 Cadillac deVille convt where I when with 79 Caddy dark blue/ turquoise metallic instead of original 1969 dark blue metallic. The trick was a light grey primer base allowing the turquoise to pop in sunlight yet at night the color took on a totally midnight blue metallic appearance.", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1567858809, "type": "comment"}]
