matching factory colors for a GTO judge

[foxbat426]

Hi, I'm getting ready to do a 69 GTO Judge. The color i'm looking for is cameo white. Thats the white color GM used and - that seems to be the color of the GTO on the box, and i like to stay close to the box.

I would like to use enamel paint and testors only has a white enamel. the cameo is a bit off white. could i expect to match this perfect or should i just use the white testors paint and be happy it's close enough. what would you guys do?

thx, john

In 69 judges were only available in carousel red.

I'm guessing you're using a rattle can. Have you tried Dupli-Color Perfect Match from the auto parts stores? It's not enamel, but you might get a closer match to what you're looking for. Look for a GM/Chevy Dover White (same color for 1969 Pontiac Cameo White).

That was only for the opening run. After that you could get any color offered.

Wrong.

my cousin came home from Viet nam and purchased a brand new 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge and it was Black.

I asked him about it even then, and he said the dealership had a few colors to choose from,

but he wanted a Ram Air III / 4 speed. And it just so happened the Judge was a Ram Air III / 4 speed.

but it was definitely Black.

I'm using an airbrush

Cameo white is a bright white white, if that makes sense. Wimbledon is a off colored white used on Fords.

Contact MCW (Model Car World) They pretty much have all the factory colors in model size bottles

If you can find it, I have used Tamiya TS-26 Pure White for an '85 Monte Carlo SS. The factory color was the same as the Corvette white I beleave.

They were but you could still get a few different colors other than Carousel Red for the 69 GTO...
