If you're doing a restoration to bring the car back to original factory
condition or better, then paint it to the original factory color or as
close as you can get it with today's paints.
If you're doing a restoration to later sell the car as restored, then paint
it the original factory color and list it as "restored" to factory specs or
better.
If you're restoring the car for you're own use, then paint it whatever
color you want, and don't worry about what the little tag says.
If you're restoring the car to then put it in shows for judging, then read
the rules regarding restored cars and paint colors. There should be
something in the judging parameters/guidelines about how to award or remove
points for color numbers and paint matching original specs.
>> Does anyone think that it is wrong, illegal or immoral to change the
>>letter designating the color?
If I buy a car and later discover it has altered tags, the tag changer will
soon be the owner again, one way or another.
just my opinion.
