    One for me too, please. My check is sitting in an envelope, just waiting for you to tell me how much. I believe I already know where to send it . . . .

    Can you be certain they'll be able to get the colors close enough to use them as restoration references? We run into so much variation between one brand of paint to the next, and it can even vary by the technician who mixes it, or how much is mixed up.

    Would love a full set of chips if they'll aid in helping to get colors "right" for future restorations.

    Alberto, make that 7 takers plus one for you. Put me on the list for one. Any guesstimates on the price? Thanks, Marc

    Exactly! That's what I was referring to when I said that this world is not perfect.

    I am glad to learn that I am not the only troublemaker here.

    Modifying each formulation until it matches an original chip is a massive undertaking, though. But without that effort, the chip set would not be of much value. An incorrect reference is worse than no reference.

    Are you sure you want to do this, Alberto?

    Nowadays, my assumption is that close approximate will be it. Even original color books have degraded, barn find cars have patinated and faded, so where and how would you have a perfect, spot on, 100% accurate color reference?

    Here, they could match the Giallo Fly 190 in a two pack with varnish, but impossible to make as a single color without varnish, this, with PPG formulation.
    I think that if we go ahead with this project, the idea is that it will be darned close, otherwise what is the point.

    As far as cost, it all depends on the materials, time and degree of posterior pain.
    You will be the first to know, but meanwhile, please let's talk more about which color is 100% accurate on which car, or paint sampler that is likewise perfect.

    For instance, my Giallo fly is great, Ron tried a sample to his car to guide himself by it.
    Very close I think, so that is fine for me. Will it be exactly like the other G.Fly190's out there? I seriously doubt it.

    Next time at PB or other show, you will see the same exact red, just a tad + or - from car to car, even though it was supposed to be spot on.
    A very good approximation is the key word here...

    Regards, Alberto

    Your posted picture was taken by me, it is my color sample card on my # 1706 :)

    There are three different "DINO" color sampler existing:
    1) early version: 69/70, white cover, only non metallic colors, only one "giallo fly" , see picture top left one
    2) mid version: 71/72, white cover, only non metallic clors, old and new "nuovo giallo fly"
    this is the version on Pascals photo
    3) third version: white cover, metallic colors, see the one on top right, ultra rare

    Today it looks as it was possible to order a new Dino 246 in every available Ferrari Color.
    So it is Ok to to use the "yellow FERRARI/Scaglietti"" Color sampler which includes them all, like Jons sample or the on on my picture bottom.
    Regards Nicolai

    As an aside, I was thinking more of the sampler, not as a guide, but the "Fun Factor" of having said piece, as we all love to amass items that one day somebody will question our 'sanity'. Plus, the factor that they are not available.
    I don't foresee going to the paint store with my sampler in hand, well maybe just to double check, but I would not leave it with them...

    Or, "excuse me Miss, what color in this booklet do you think would be more appropriate for my Dino?...oh, you would like a ride?"
    Guaranteed to work, just don't tell my wife ;)

    Just spoke with my son's school buddy. He works at Sherwin Williams of ES, and is working hard trying to help with the formulations.
    PPG, has disappeared from here.


    Regards, Alberto
