Well, I finally remembered what color the 67's supposed to be.

Although, it's hasn't been the correct color since I've owned it.

I'd recommend you paint the rest of the car that color, as well.

Lyndale Blue.

Small parts and hood tomorrow.

The main body last after I install the doors.

THEN, I get to sand the entire car again ...twice

Thanks, M.

Yea, but that stuff is painted the interior color.

On this particular car, the teal is very close to the Lyndale blue. The parts that get painted are all the plastic surrounds for the rear window & headliner, emergency brake cover and the console stripes.
The dash in-between the cushions too but mine doesn't need it. I'll get a quart of paint from Corvette America.

Thanks Bob, but this is my last "close to showcar" paint job, way too much of a pain in the ass.

I'll stick to painting race cars, prime, light sand amd shoot the paint, easy peasy.

Bite Me.

I'm REALLY looking forward to that.

Sand the whole car with 1500 then with 2000. And when you're sanding, you have to stop every minute to squeegee the surface to see where you're at.

3 coats of PPG Deltron color

4 coats of PPG high solids clear

Thanks, this is the first time I've seen it in the correct color. It was painted Marina Blue when I bought it.

And I REALLY like the teal interior.

The only black that I almost fell over when I saw it was a black 67 big block with a teal interior and a teal stinger.

Usta look like this..
