Matching paints question

[jzajfen]

I'm looking to replace the decklid on my car (since one of the prior owners put on a lid taken from an earlier car). I have a corrct lid that I need to have cleaned up and painted.

Paint job on my car is nice and relatively new. Prior owner had the paint done at a shop in So Cal that's now out of business.

Any suggestions as to a place in or around LA that's most likely to match the paint properly the first time around?

Original paint code is 63-6805-L. I know the repaint was done to match the original paint (i.e., Bahama Yellow), but I don't know the brand of paint used in the respray (and since the shop is out of business, I can't find out). The prior owner believes it was Glasso (?) or Glasurit (?).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The L in the paint code says the factory paint was Lesonal. Glasurit is a possibility for the repaint. The trick is to find a shop that can color-match what you have on the car now. That may require some experimentation.

I'd be interested in knowing the VIN of your car, to go with that paint code. Is it possible to post a photo of the badge with the code clearly seen. I need to be able to confirm the 63 part of the code for my research. I know 68 exists, and sometimes it is hard to tell when they don't stamp the characters properly. So the 63 is something I want proof-positive documentation on. Many thanks.

Here's a picture of the badge with the paint code.

This picture was from before the respray (I think, since picture shows imprefections in the paint that are gone). Prior owner gave me the pic.

Well, I'd say that it shows the 63 definitively. Thanks.
