And in the biggest mopar car show in the world, I only seen a total of 4 cars painted in that color there. I was only able to speak to 1 of the owners to see what brand paint they used on their repaint. I was sorta disappointed but at the same time I did see TONS of way cool cars! Anyone have a gy3 car that they repainted? Do you happen to know what brand paint was used?
 
My car (GY3) was painted last year with PPG and 8152 Glamour Clear. However after seeing GY3 in person this weekend my car is a different shade than the ones in Carlisle. I recently bought some touch up paint for a new Mustang with the color Grabber Yellow and it's almost an exact match.

I am in NO way a paint guy, but i remember seeing a thread on gy3 that said it was a very difficult paint to match, and there were shade variations all over the place.
I remember seeing that a guy had painted three gy3 coupons with three different brands of paint. I couldn't see any difference on my phone, but apparently he could. I dont remember which he said was closest.
Edit: thread may have been at fbbo.
 
Which sub brand ppg did you use? These 2 spray outs are ppg. The one on the left is deltron DBC which is $1200.00 a gallon and on the right is shopline for $300.00 a gallon. I have yet to spray shopline plus. The one gentleman I was able to speak to said he used DuPont dulux and it looked phenomenal. If I hold my spray out cards up to the parts of my car, the shopline matches awesome but it has NO green flop. Ppg is also a base coat clear coat only, no single stage available.

I have an original Gy3 dart that I’m going through the GY3 paint matching now, here is the engine bay. I left the wrong color on the top of the inner fender lip using one of the different yellows due to the fact that it was just going to get covered by the fenders anyway.
I ended up going trying three different GY3’s before I found one that matched my original trunk lid. The green in the yellow does change a lot depending on the lighting. It is a great color. Strange by cool. The code that the shop used was Chrysler Y3 2320 Citro 2320

I didn’t even try to match, anytime you try with this color it’s different. Good luck… next time I’ll make 2 gallons of base.

Thanks, it’s was just a plain Jane slant six car, so it wasn’t anything special except that it’s a true GY3 color car. So I’m trying to get it as close as possible. But I’m looking forward to Carlisle to see how many I find there

very cool, when I’m finished we may need get together for a photo of the two, I’m only out on the island
 
I went to a 55-57 Chevy show, probably 30 years ago. I had (have) a 57 sport coupe, originally Sierra gold/Adobe beige (really, a copper penny color). Silver when I got it, I painted it a pale yellow and white.
But I had decided to go back to the original color, so I was looking at sg/ab cars in particular.


There were three Sierra gold 57s, parked side by side by side. All three were different shades, all three would have looked correct, sitting by themselves. I have NO idea which one was "right". Any one of them could have been the 56 version of the same color.

I've got a feeling that the not-quite-the-right-shade happens a lot!
