You guys may have discussed this before. I tried the search and didn't find much. I currently restoring a 72 Camaro and want to paint the underbody in red oxide. I know you can mix SPI epoxies together to get a custom color. I wanted to post my result here and it may help someone else looking to do this. Now I matched this up the best I could to my car. I'm sure there are some different shades gm probably used through the years, and everybody knows how QC was back then. I also know lighting has a lot to do with the way a color may appear. Anyway I mix 10oz of red to 1oz of black.
The new mixture looks brown when compared to the original SPI red.

I'm still trying to learn how to spray. I need to work on my technique. I'm still getting some orange peel and in some places I have put to much on and in some places its perfect. This is just the initial 2 coats. I will install the pan, sand and re-paint once on the rotisserie.
