    Hey Guys,
    Can anyone share a paint code for the fastest car in the valley.... ?
    My buddy at Sherwin Williams can take the old code and possibly flip it into something more planet friendly,
    Thanks Much
    Dave

    Looks like Corvette-Camaro Daytona Yellow '69-'76 .. I think it's # 984... Find out if it's correct!!
     
  5. Long shot but you might try getting in touch with the owner,Rick Figari in San Francisco,,If anyone knows I would think it would be him. HRP

    Yup ... the Figari angle did cross my mind ? a buddy thought it may have been called " safety yellow " back in the day. There's a club named " Milner's Militia" that claims they have all the sacred info you ever needed ....? but it's $75.00 to join?
    Thanks for taking a few minutes to respond....

    What will you compare a test can to?
    Unless you have the actual Deuce in for a few touch ups your relying on printed pictures or screen shots anyway and that can't be trusted.

    It's yellow. You think John Milner agonized over the color choice before he hauled it into his shed and sprayed it?
    Pick something close and run with it.

    A paint code and test cans for Piss Yella......man oh man....:rolleyes: LOL

    :):):):):)
     
  10. Piss? With a little puke mixed in?

    I'm just throwin that out there...

    The code I listed in the previous post is direct from the spec sheet on the piss yellow '32 from the Milner's Mafia website (www.projectthx138.com)

    There's a fella that has a website/blog called "All Graffiti All the Time" . He has a "side blog" on his attempt to build an EXACT replica of the coupe. If it's not already on there, he would probably know. Good luck!

    Good grief, not another Milner piss yellow clone please. The car was/is cool but there must be 50 clones running around now. Maybe they can have a"National Milner Deuce clone meet and all get together and compare notes.

    Jim, thanks by the way, beauty shot! .. yuu know, I hesitated about asking any type of coupe related question but thought, ahhh what the hey... I expected to take a few beats on it....

    I'm thrilled with the opportunity of finally being able to build a deuce regardless of theme, colour rat or resto... Just having it sitting in my garage makes my day...

    They NMCS sounds cool---- "National Milner Clone Show" Might be tough finding your car after it's over thou LoL ...

    Later deuce bags...
