Many thanks for your helpful suggestions. I have the PFE book by Thompson, Church, and Jones, I refered to earlier, but until you mentioned it, I didn't realize that it contained colored paint chips in back (pp. 414). As you may know, the rest of the book shows some great detailed photos of the cars from various eras, but all the photos are in black and white. Per your suggestions, my best course of action may be to try and match the paint chip color either with a straight commercial color, or a mix. Then weather the cars and not worry further..... <br />Many thanks again... Gary
