Day 2 Resto tip needed....
What brand/shade paint have you all used to replicate the yellow for traction bars and the red for Lakewood driveshaft loops/scattershields?
|
I used Tremclad Professional "Safety Red" Model # 5707564838 Aerosol for the Lakewood Roll Bar and Driveshaft Loop. Based in Grey primer this gave it the perfect color with 3 good coats of paint and closely matched the factory bell housing color once it cured.
For the Traction Bars I used Duplicolor DE1642 which is a Daytona Yellow aerosol. Same thing with a good base in grey primer then 3 good coats allowing them to dry between coats. I think they look great as well but that can be subjective. Hope this helps? https://i.ibb.co/wY0njXj/IMG-3599.jpg https://i.ibb.co/JFRp5bn/IMG-3011.jpg https://i.ibb.co/yBKyfrh/IMG-3030.jpg |

Thank you Guys - that is exactly the help I needed! Will post pics of finished product when I get there.

great information!
What about the orange/red for a set of Ansen Ground Grabber traction bars? I have a well used set looking to restore. |
Maybe look through these colors for an orange. Chrysler orange perhaps?

They are more red when new, but orange could work.

I have seen ground grabber bars for sale.
How do they work and mount? |
Those look like the Vega GG’s!

I know I have an old article I've posted in the past. I will try to find it. [IMG]http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/w...psqgfhi7w8.jpg[/IMG] |
Lakewood actually used 4 different yellow paints over the years based upon the NOS ones I have had over the years
Bright lemon yellow, basic yellow, a darker yellow and a orangish yellow. Probably different paint suppliers over the years etc whatever bulk yellow that was close. |
