[Tigers] New paints

[Michael Wood]

Single stage is harder for most painters to lay down (easier to hide stuff with two stage) and also requires much more work if there are any corrections needed down the road. Two stage also results in a harder surface. But, no doubt, single stage looks right on our cars. I went with two stage, no regrets.Mike

                You probably got those numbers from me.

  

The problem is that at my paint shop those old numbers no longer translate to a paint mix.

Some paint shops may have those old paint codes and mixes available but most do not.
