Title: Hertz Lemans stripe paint code
Post by: Shawn on August 01, 2018, 06:21:39 PM
Any current paint code information available for the Gold Hertz Stripes?  I do have the registry if whats shown on p. 723 is current

Thanks

Haven't looked at 723. But if it's mixing bronze powder in clear that is the formula that showed up in early SA paperwork that SAAC first published in the Marque (along with correct stripe dimensions). From what I understand you'll need to find someone good with new paints/formulas to get it right.

The problem with the bronze powder is that sometimes it will oxidize inside the clear that it is suspended in. That can look very bad. That is why people have moved to more modern paint equivalent.

Does anyone know the modern paint code for the gold stripe color?  My paint shop is asking me to provide this info so they get it correct.

Thanks

Several of us have used DuPont Centari 43496-AM on our stripes. Its Inca Gold Metallic. Someone on the old site made the suggestion to use it a couple years back. I have it on 6S1568 and it shows very nicely.

We used the Centari over good 'ol acrylic enamel on 6S1487 Hertz and it turned out nicely.
