dator pain-t
dator pain-t
ok all I know this has been discussed 1000 times etc . I went to pick up my dator from the body shop the other day and much to my dismay it had been sprayed with regular jd green , the quart of paint I took him was later found under the workbench on its side where it had clearly been for a LONG TIME . anyway so while im at this im revisiting the color .btw tractor paint isn't very close . the xx188x number listed here doesn't seem to work for any retailer in a 30 mile radius of 47955 , does anyone have a code or recipe for dator green they are willing to share , ive got a color that was "scanned " off of an old hood that is close I can use but I think its a little brighter but will work worse case thanks everyone wade

Re: dator pain-t
Wade , I do have a Guy up here that does all our Dator paints and does a great job and an excellent match. He is a member here but don't think he posts much. I will shoot you a pm and just let him know you received the contact info from me. I don't have any decal sets left so you might have to get from that other guy.
Re: dator pain-t
joe I wasn't really mad , the situation was so stupid I knew it could only get better , he shot some mean green for me and turned out perfect , seems he let his son handle this project while he was out for the weekend , he is third generation collision repair here local ,so it seems like its going to work out fine , dad was embarrassed when we pealed back the rubber grip back on the tunnel that was supposed to have been removed to see the dator green scream out , then when we found my paint under the workbench where it had fallen off and been collecting dust for about a year iced itJoeRainville wrote:Wow, Wade...I would be pee-ossed in your shoes.

Re: dator pain-t
If you have not found a formula yet i will try to dig mine out. It is hand matched ppg using pearl instead of metal flake there are others here who have used it.
Thanks,
Ted

Re: dator pain-t
It is very small pearl flake I cant tell the difference by eye. Cooter has used it. Anyone may use this. Spitfires & 78 Cyclones too. disclaimer: no i will not come strip your sled again if you do not like it this is hand mixed and no warranty!
