The Ford Barn

Been on H.A.M.B. since 2004 and now my first post on Ford Barn. I have a 1953 Mercury Monterey with original paint in near-perfect condition but I'm looking for a paint source to match up my fender skirts that are now in primer. Unless someone has a pair in Pinehurst green

. Thanks in advance, Jim

Take it to a automotive paint supplier that has a camera matching system. The can match the color and mix up a pint of paint for you.

They matched my Yosemite Yellow on my 53'

Thanks for the replies. I've only tried one local supplier so far and he needed a panel to try and color match, all I could offer was a headlight ring and he wasn't sure if that was a large enough area. I'll keep looking for a shop or supplier with a camera as that would be ideal. Also, I'll contact Auto Color Library and see if they can help. Thanks for the help. Jim
