So the paint on the FA is obviously original, and even though I have tried my best to preserve it, sitting outside for almost 5 years hasn't been the kindest on it. The paint is starting to show some oxidation and inconsistencies in the color. In the shade or with the sun in front of you it looks ok, but with the sun behind you the paint shows its true colors (no pun intended).
Anyways, I've saved up some money and decided to get the paint professionally restored by a detailing shop that is kind of local to me. I just don't want to screw it up, the mechanical is more my speed.
When Chrysler painted these cars in the factory, did they use single stage or base/clear type paint? I know all the auto makers were changing away from single stage around this time. I think I have base/clear on my car, because when I did lightly compound the hood and trunk lid 2 years ago, I didn't have any of the tan come off on the cloth. As a side note, what is the paint code for tan? Thanks guys.
