4. Re: Corsa Cove Color (Alan and Clare Wesson)
I'm redoing a 1966 Corsa. It still has the orginal (Argent) silver rear
end.....I experimented and found two colors that are very, very close
matches. The first is Krylon's Chrome / Aluminum. That will hold up
reasonably well...or can be clear coated without lifting. I've done it
using DuPont's clearcoat from the basecoat / clearcoat system.
The other color is the silver from a 1999 VW Passat. I had a pint.....and
tried it. A stripe painted over the existing factory argent didn't
show......at 10 feet you couldn't see it. That MUST be clearcoated.
It is not a hard color to match....... However, for perfection.....get it
matched to the paint code in DuPont or Ditzler's paint chip book.
