well after 25 years of building cars on the mainland we have moved back and setting up shop in Nanoose bay. I have several hi end restos over the years specializing in type 1 body and paint . Looking forward to seeing and meeting the locals and the rides. If you are building project and need input on body and paint product and usage feel free to message me or email to DubsbyDon@yahoo.com opinions are free

You might want to PM him Boris. He hasn't been logged in to the site since joining. Of course that is not to say he hasn't visited, but a PM might catch his attention if he has his settings sending a notification to his email. Just a thought….  |

well scoured the Ppg computer looking for a formula for your L16 light green and came up empty, my next step is to call the head tech line and have them do a color shot of the original In their system and create a formula of you want?

Sure be great to see some pics of past projects, nudge, nudge  i think a fellow by the name of ralph is who i talked with, may have been ppg does this number mean anything 42672? that may be pastel green for the main body? thanks It could have been Ralph Rampanen in the Nanaimo II store as he is the paint mixer there. I was in some time ago(summer) and overheard that Ralph was going on holiday and they were all quaking in their boots, as nobody else seemed to have a clue about how to fill in, lol! The number on his card is 250 753 1711 or toll free 1 866 752 1711 |

O.K. finally heard back from PPG and they have no mention of an L16 Hellgruen anywhere in they're data base or ancient catalogs. If you have a sample of the color I can create a formula or a color myself for you.
