1966 saddle gold /off white code 555 crossover

[HOTFUN]

Well all the pictures and talking to paint rep and even trying to color match several new take off pieces this is what we shot last night on the 66 shortbox project. This is PPG paints crossover color for the saddle metallic and the off white paint code 555 for 1966. I honestly think it is way more glamour color than the old gothic gold color that the original survivor trucks are now. Every nos piece we played with don't even match as I have found red primer on new take off mirror brackets and mainly black primer/sealer under most of the tailgates. Even sprayed the clear on one of the original take off mirror arms and wow you have a rich glamour clear shiny new paint going to say far superior than any factory applied paint of the era. So we mixed a pint of the original gold metallic paint code straight off the PPG reformulated crossover code and this is what we got and spraying over black sealer to darken the base color as much as possible. Gives me some time now wiring it and installing glass and cab on the frame to decide if that is that is what we settle on or do some more tinting or searching paint before outside is painted. Anyone else been down this road have any suggestions for an original match? The problem is the clearcoats today just put so much shine to what was originally just basically a semi flat factory finish that just got duller every month there after.
