I can't tell the color of Phil Parson's Oldsmobile #66 (and #17). In some photos I've found it looks metallic brown and in others; metallic burgundy. Was it two different colors or are the color of the photos off?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
John

Color was an '86 Olds factory color, I think it was called Carmine. It was a 3 step process involving a base coat, a mid coat, and a tinted clearcoat with mica. Gorgeous color in person, it was extremely popular that year. The Ford "Wild Strawberry" color that the Mark Martin Folgers car used a few years later was the same basic process but it was a little less burgundy than the Olds color. The mica gold in the tinted clear makes it look brownish under the right conditions. |

Winston West driver John Krebs was also sponsored by Skoal. He used the same Burgandy color, with white 66's and sometimes white 99's on a back-up / field filler car. |
