65 interior paint White code
« on: April 20, 2013, 01:00:07 PM »
Hi I am in the process of restoring my 65 A code GT coupe, originally Caspian blue and came with pony interior 62 (white/blue)  I have the PGP interior paint code for the white dash paint 8162 and the medium blue poly for the A frame and doors 12989, the problem I am having is getting a current paint code for these colours at the local auto paint shop, but because these codes are obsolete, and the paint in the car is too faded to colour match, I need modern paint codes for these colours, not sure if there are DuPont colour codes for these, can anyone help? As I am stuck.

Regards
Mark

You've run across the problem with most of the old paint codes.... no equivalent for today's mixes and toners.

You might be able to find a company that has already gone through the effort at color matching since few of the major paint companies for cars that they will sell little palnt to :(

Try here as they may have already matched it in their products
