hello gary . . do you know a 'positive' method to determine the 'original' color of an amphi? mine is [now] a 'white' 1968euro car . . however, there is some traces of 'blue' under the hood cross-members and near the door hinges. i will be restoring it soon, with 'no' short cuts; it's gonna be a first class job, where 'ORIGINAL' color is important . .


thanks, joe biscone (760) 443-5700

Actually Rob, I can do a color change and absolutely guarantee no one
will ever know, unless the original "tag" showing the color code is
still with the vehicle! I have done several over the past 30+ years, I
don't enjoy doing them, but it can be done! Gary.
