49 maroon paint
I had a quart of catalyzed enamel touch up paint for my 49. I scratched the front fender and tryed to touch it up, didn't work. Then I remembered when I bought the car the seller said the front had been repainted. The touch up worked fine on scratches around the tailgate. Ended up using the quart to re-spray the wheels.
So this part under the front bumper had rust under it so I decided to repaint. Didn't even have paint on the underside. This turns out OK since I will get a quart of sherwin williams single stage matched with a camera and see how close it is. If close I'll just repaint the one fender, otherwise 2 fenders and the hood. BTW Sherwin Williams single stage is $188 and PPG $500 for a quart. A body shop I'd used before told me the camera matched paint is right on the money. His shop however won't do old cars. MAACO will spray it if I decide not to do it myself, two fenders and the hood for $600 with single stage which I thought was a good price. Stripped the paint and then sanded, put on Ospho, repeat sanding, etc. Had to use the new non-methyl chloride remover which is OK but takes a lot longer.

Re: 49 maroon paint
$500 for a quart must be a mistake. $2000/gal? Something isn't right. I've used ppg ss for many years and $300/gal might be more like it.

Re: 49 maroon paint
Seems like any red based color has been high priced for some time now.
For example when purchasing a new car a number of years ago, i was informed that if i wanted a red color there was an additional $600 added to the price of the car.

I see you stripped that pan and I am not sure how to do it but if you got stripper in those seams you need to make sure to get it all out. I have some brown showing on mine like it is rust around there but it isn't because rust always gets worse and it hasn't so I attributed it to the paint stripper bleeding through.
