dator pain-t

[lwb140]

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

I hate it when stuff like that happens. Yeah, I'll bet it looks odd!

the most awesome part of all is somehow the decals ended up there too and they put them on ... wasted $150

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.

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 it

chuck thanks for the help ,ill be in touch wade

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.

[lwb140]

awesome the one I have is very close with no flake thanks wade

[Dator76]

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!
