I purchased a 1966 Beaumont in fall 2012. I noticed this car is already on the registry of this website. I'm planning on doing body work but not sure on what paint to use.
From afar it has a black colour But when you go close to it the colour is purplish.
Hi blackbird! Welcome aboard. Nice looking car, nice to have another four door on board. To me it looks like the plum colour. I'm not sure about paint availability. For my car the closest locally was a gold that was used on an 83 Nissan, but you can hopefully get some of the correct colour for your car.

Hey Blackbird, that 66 is nice. What does your firewall mounted trim tag say? The 1year only plum colour was actually offered 2 years in Canada. I would expect an MM paint code, designating Plum Mist, a 1966 Pontiac colour or 1967 Chevrolet colour. Does your firewall say AA 9, interior 083? Perhaps it says MM.

Is my car plum mist metallic or tuxedo black?
Where can I purchase this paint?
Thanks
