I’m at a paint store in GA, tats a ppg dist, and they can’t mix any solvent colors for most of their overseas cars. Does anyone have a screen shot of Granada 023 mix ratios in solvent that they could share?
Granada paint blend for the States?

Sorry, I posted this while at the paint store...it was odd...must be a PPG thing? They couldn't get a bunch of colors in a solvent mix..I've never heard of that. My normal paint place just closed and I'm looking for new sources.. Has anyone run into this? Super nice lady running the store...wish we could figure it out.
Glasurit Granada is a Blue Red vs Glasurit Verona is a Yellow Red
FYI Reds are the most expensive paints at nearly $1K per gall for Glasurit.

Great looking rides! I miss my 69 1600...
Yeah, I'm definitely looking at Granada...my previous paint store quoted me almost $1500 for Spies Hecker for single stage, with reducer, etc...sticker shock...
I wonder if a more average paint like Nason would still look as good? I used RM Uno years ago and thought it was pretty nice..I may just have to cough up the big bucks...maybe sell myself on the street...should cover about $1.50...
huge change from the mid-blues you were previously thinking of. so PPG is going away from solvent paints? my ceylon metallic is PPG water base paint with a clear coat (solvent base)
Eastwood.com lists all the stock BMW colors now. They have a single stage urethane Granada for $508. Of course you'll need to add reducer to that cost.

I got some paint from my local auto paint store and the color match was well, ok. Fine for engine but not perfect. I ended up redoing it with paint from AutomotiveTouchup (online store) using the BMW Polaris Silver and the color match was perfect, the clearcoat was much nicer, etc. Even their rattle can color was spot on. May be worth just ordering a can to see about its color match for you.
Yeah, I kept looking at, and spraying, different blues and liked a lot of them, but didn't love any... My brother commented how a lot of newer cars are going back to the classic blues and realized, after a quick drive to fla and back, that he's right. Sooooo many new, bland, shapeless cars have the blue colors that I was looking at. It basically killed it for me. Maybe I'm weird, but I was always barely into whichever color I was looking at.
I love the look of the deep red on the Bav...could be what I'm looking for.
Oh wow, Eastwood stepped up? I'll check that out for sure. Thanks!Eastwood.com lists all the stock BMW colors now. They have a single stage urethane Granada for $508. Of course you'll need to add reducer to that cost.

I'll check that out, too. Thanks!
yep, i get it, i think that for the last 10 years new cars have been black, white or some shade of gray ... with the occasional blue, red or silver and a few spots of gold / bronze. lately i have been seeing a lot of (grayed) blues and dark blues, along with black, white + gray.
i have seen faded granada e3 as well as malaga ... and they look good. my favorites have been chamonix, baikal + fjord ... but there are a couple of metallics in there that don't work for you. i do think granada is probably a better color for the e3 than verona.
never buy an inexpensive red paint, its the least stable color under U/V light. reds tend to fade / lose their luster faster than any other color.
Agree on the past 10 year trends...Yes, I like Granada more for the e3 for reasons of it being more period correct and not quite as 'loud', I suppose...Seems fitting. I've never been this wishy washy about a decision before...lol. Watch me end up going for Sienna Braun, just to piss myself off...LOLOL (it's actually a cool color...)
I didn't realize red faded faster, that's not cool...she has a dedicated garage spot, so that'll help a bunch, but interesting thought about the cost of the paint. I wonder, do you think it would be worth it to add a clear in the last two coats at an increasing % to help UV stability? I've seen that a lot on some of the painting sites. I'm hoping to use RM Uno...I've shot it a couple times before and it's a really nice single stage.
my point is don't go cheap on the paint if you go granada - use a really good quality paint. over the years, paint companies have improved the quality of their reds. i will let people with more knowledge talk about the increase of UV stability with clear coat. my guess is you would be okay + it would help.
Oh geeez, I'm an idiot...I read 'don't buy expensive red paint..' LOL. Yes, I agree...RM Uno should be really good.
