[DeTomaso] Pic of the day ...

[Garth Rodericks]

Nope, not the lighting...  The color is wrong!  Correct PPG paint code for the 72 yellow, but the color is wrong. Maybe it's an issue of modern basecoat/clearcoat coming out different than the original single-stage paint.  It's much more muted than the original yellow, lost some brightness and the "pop" it formerly had, and looks more green in just about any light.  EVERYONE who's seen the car before - co-workers, neighbors, friends, etc. -  have all commented on the "color change."  The car looks nice, but lost some the "pop" or "wow-factor." 

-------------- original message --------------

   Wearing fresh paint.


   Garth is this `light' yellow or just the lighting ?
