    No, that makes no sense. A type of paint with high VOC's perhaps, but not individual colors. They should be able to get the color you want in the new (approved) formulations. You need to find the details of the correct paint and give it to these clueless techs.

    paint

    At this point I would only go with Glasurit german paint to get the best results. And go with the 55 line. If your shop wants only to do PPG; I would find a shop that will do Glasurit. Its your car-- you have to live with it after it is done,not the body shop. I am sure a shop that shoots Glasurit has the correct color codes and that is the most important aspect of a paint job to look factory correct. But a factory looking paint will look different than one done today because the solvents used today are different than the ones used 30 years ago;which means it even more important to go with Glasurit to even get into the ball park of a correct looking tone of Gemini Blue Metalic. Good luck Regards Chris Early S#205
