Post by: surgerypending on October 25, 2007, 05:24:55 PM

Just wondering if anyone has Strato Silvera paint sample or a car...or a piece of a car I can take a pic of? It can be original or a resprayed piece.
Thanks

Thanks Silas but I need an actual piece that I can take a picture of with my spectrometer....we (as in Sikkens) don't have any color information on Strato Silver and I won't use another paint line.
Thanks
Gerry

Gerry, I think Geoff P had some paint chips of early colors at the old AS shop.
