Title: 1965 code 22 medium blue poly
Post by: kb65 on May 07, 2018, 08:58:08 PM

Does any one know the formula to get this color correct.
My local paint supplier has tried 3 times and has failed all 3 times .
They have even scanned the color from an original interior panel.

Have you tried Auto Color Library/TCP Global that has been mentioned in a number of prior threads?

No connections to the company. I see that the state finally got after them for shipping certain paints (most) to instate customers. They are located in SoCal ::)

Check 1966 Ford pages also

Went through the process and they offer most types in paint (enamel, lacquer, urethane and urethane base coats) in gallons and quarts

I ordered my spray cans from another vendor, when I ran out I ordered a van from. NPD, it was an exact match to exsisting color found under dash and column strap.  So I would go NPD.  Of course if you want to have it in quarts...

like Jeff said that was the code
tried the npd stuff it was not correct.
color library said they could make it for $107 per qt plus shipping but they don't show a sample and id did not want to spend that much and have it still be wrong.

Hi KB 65. I re did my interior with a full resto 2 years ago. I have #22 interior code, Aug.64.
My painter did an incredible job and matched the paint perfectly. He used PPG Acrylic 3852 base and a flat clear.
It was the same as ford used in later years as well.
Good luck. You will be impressed.
