Subject:Paint van a slightly different colour?
From:Doug Alcock

Hi gang,

     Oncs more I turn to the collective wisdom of the list. I'm going to have my
van painted (by the instructor of my night-school autobody course). My '84 Westy
is a medium blue (Miami Blue, I think) and I've never been fond of the colour.
I'm thinking of painting at slightly different blue (GM Light Blue) because: a)
I like the colour better and b) touch-up paint in spray cans is readily
available --- and are unavailable for the stock colour. What would be the
drawbacks to this approach??? Anyone BTDT??

TIA
