ok, i got some paint stripper so i can start getting this cancer off my doors and passenger wheel well rim. after about 7 coats of this stripper i finally hit bare metal. now i knew my car used to be the color royal maroon, but under that is metalic gold paint. was that used as a undercoat for this maroon or is this like a special color or something?

 

My 67 had deep red paint under the original in the trunk, so I always thought the primer was red....

 

use the decoders in the faq's page to decode your buck tag and find out the origional color of your beast.

 

the original is royal maroon. but there was gold under it, maybe they used the gold as primer

 

Could have been painted multiple times in its life. The primer on my '71 was the reddish brown stuff.

same on my 66
