Re: Looking for Paint
Michael Allen (above) seems to have a lot of good information. Can't the paints be mixed from recipies in the major mfr's catalogs, at the paint shop? I know that is what the painter did with my Model-A.

From this website: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...Ford&year=1956 They list colors for 1956 Ford interior paint: Dark Brown, Medium brown, Medium green, gray. Dupont color codes are listed as 2286H, 2285, 59596, 59595 respectively. Those might be old numbers, but the name and old number might be useful to the supplier for finding the modern equivalent. |

The chart I have how ever which I called on and was told the chart is useless to be used for painting shows the following. Its an ACME Interior chart 3157 Blue Metallic : 729 Medium Metallic - Fill To 36 1/2 728 P.C. Blue Toner - Fill To 46 1/4 716 White - Fill To 53 1/2 722 P.C. Green Toner - Fill To 54 3/4 715 Black - Fill To 56 M2J-536 is the number next to this mix chart. Every one I talked to paint shop wise has told me the chart is useless as the colors have changed and the mixing formula is not used anymore.

Re: Looking for Paint
wow acme I haven't heard that name in a long time I loved their acrylic enamels if you are doing solid colors I prefer single stage you can sand and polish to a high gloss and use less materials as this stuff is getting costly I just did a 64 pickup and spent $1000.00 on a gallon of paint 2 qts of epoxy primer reducer and hardener for paint just for the bed the cab was sprayed last summer before price increase altogether I have $2500.00 in just paint and primers not to mention body filler and bedliner on the floors sand paper and tape

Re: Looking for Paint
Dave, my bad, I thought I was making it clear I trained/instructed and worked with professional collision repair and fleet painters for 30 years; grew up in a mom & pop collision repair/mechanic shop.
