Thread: American Graffiti Coupe, My Version

Tweet

I think that this guy's research was about the most thorough that anyone has done - New Page 1

If you take time to find it he says that the paint on the coupe was DuPont #5248A, which is a 1972 Corvette Canary yellow, Centari enamel. That goes against several American Graffiti blogs out there that say "Canary Yellow Lacquer" sprayed by the Orlandi's Body Shop in San Rafael, CA. Now I cannot say what paint your Timeless shop used, but that's the one that's said to be the true color.

San Rafael is on my way to work if they are open, I could swing by and check? Address: 25 Verdi St, San Rafael, CA 94901

I don't see how it was possible to have a 1972 color in 1962?? We are getting back to the issue of the flux capacitor it looks like!

(Sorry I couldn't resist)

This PPG code is from Rick Blevins from THX138. The PPG paint code is 83849. He said he had is paint guy cross it from the Dupont code.
