[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1521818, member: 561023"] The actual GM paint code is 72U, specifically named 'Crimson Cloak Mica.' The car, when I bought it, had hail damage all over it....looked like someone had gone over the car pretty liberally from one end to the other with a ball peen hammer [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] Took the guy that did the body/paint work forever to get it all smoothed out. There are four coats of paint on the places that had to have bodywork then 8 coats across the whole car (in PPG paint) then 4 coats of clear. It cost me materials (just the paint was $478/gallon [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG]) + $100 [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] So, all in all, after buying the primer, the paint, the paper&tape for the windows, etc etc etc the grand total out of my pocket was around $800.
