SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME I'VE BEEN LOOKING TO PAINT MY ROAD RUNNER NOW FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH AND I CAN'T FIND THE GY8 (GOLDLEAF YELLOW)

On metallic, base coat, clear coat is good. On solid colors single stage has a better look if cut and buffed properly.

Re: Painting my 72 rr. Can't find the code
Its just a matter of finding a paint shop that has the color codes for Chrysler vehicles. Do some calling around to see if anyone has the paint book for Chrysler colors. We have a local chain here called Sturdevants, and they had the book - and whipped up a rattle can for me to test the color. Here are the charts for 1971-72 Plymouth colors. I don't know if showing these pages to them will help or not, but it is worth a try. Good luck! Scott.
