Title: Paint Number - Acapulco Blue
Post by: Stangly on July 25, 2013, 08:42:16 PM: My car is going to paint this Monday. The paint shop uses PPG products. My Marti report says the paint was Acapulco Blue Paint, Ford #3077-A is the paint number I need to give my painter. If not does anybody have the correct paint number.

Thank you,

Excited beyond belief,

Been down this road before and some places get the colors close but when you park next to another at a show the differences start to stand out

The reformulated color wasn't even close, I matched the old fashion way by placing several swatches on the part. It came our perfect, unfortunately I don't have any of the original body color since the car had been painted twice.

Thanks guys,
Have a great weekend,
