    Nice job and one of my favorite original Ford colors. BTW, it's actually called Folkstone Grey in case someone wants to duplicate it.

    Ah...you're right. Base color was mixed by Restoration Shop @ TCP Global, too, if that helps anyone.

    Not him...just wet down the floor, crack open a few doors, and turn on the fans after you can't stand it anymore... ;)

    The Auto Color Library paint chips are misleading as to actual shade, so if you pick something off the chips, get a spray-out before you get it mixed. That's how Racerboy did it to make sure he was getting what he wanted.

    The paint job look's great. Maybe it's just my eye's or the pictures but it look's more tan than gray to me. Im sure it look's differant outside in the sunlight.
