Re: [T3] Doors


Yes, the 21 colors included several layers of
primer between color coats. Some of the colors
were comprised of adjacent layers of primer.
I remember final colors of red, green, and white
to complement my dark blue car.

My theory is that this particular hood had been 
damaged a few times either during production,
delivery, or at the dealer, AND was traded off
one car to another to another to another . . .
repainted to match each time, until it finally 
landed on mine. 

I know that there wasn't any damage to the car 
until I got my hands on it. Other places I did 
some sanding revealed regular primer then final 
color only. It was just the hood that experience 
the  color schizophrenia.

I'll have the opportunity to check more places
on the car when I start back working on it,
hopefully very soon, so I can get it running
in time for Myrtle Creek next year.

I tossed the hood years ago, so I have no way
to get any more details than what's in my head.

BTW, a hood will fit into the back of a Sqbk,
just barely, and with a very high potential
for damage to the headliner. I think I poked
a hole in mine.

Do you mean 21 colours from the factory?

With 21 colours (some primers?), yours was a very unlucky car indeed!  They
would all need to be contemporary colours though.
