I always thought it was a wrap-around silver decal. I'm sure I heard that somewhere.

It is a decal from the belt molding to the air dams, I need the code for the dams.

Yup - here's a shot of the PI decals and resprayed ground effects going back onto the 87 CSX I restored a few years ago:

Weird, I see it, but I'll email it to you just in case.

Just back from the body shop, the PPG silver metallic looks awfully blue to me.

I would be willing to say it's the sun faded vinyl that faded and changed colors on you. just like the blue stripe in the mouldings has changed color on you.

Paints wrong. Not even close to the paint chip sent from Dave. The shop that mixed the paint screwed up.

Just great.

[cordes]

Wow. That's a real downer to say the least. I sure hope the paint shop makes it right.

Paint chip

[cordes]

Yeah that looks pretty close. I don't see why they didn't cut their losses as soon as they started spraying.

[Keito]

Color was mixed wrong, correct?
I can ask my wife to grab a paint chip at work if you need
She works at the PPG refinish plant in Cleveland

Paint chip

WOW !! ok yea that is not even close.. did the painter not check the color vrs the chip BEFORE spraying?

[jonnyb]

Wow - bummer! I can't believe they didn't do a test spray. What a waste of time and material. Time especially!
