Title: 64.5 Medium Blue interior paint
Post by: Corey Bowcutt on October 06, 2023, 06:18:04 PM

I need to repaint the dash, doors, rear interior quarter panels... on my 64.5 convertible.  It has the interior TRIM color 82 on the door tag which I believe is Medium Blue.  The research I have done indicates Ford code M1821G.  This converts to

Ditzler PPG 12989
Dupont 9135
RM BASF 5747

Any recommendations on paints that work the best?  I see rattle cans out there but would prefer to apply using a spray gun.

If I simply give one of these numbers to an automotive paint supply store will I get the right paint with the correct sheen or do I need to specify flat, satin, gloss...

Any idea which sheen I should use?

Any recommendation on where to get the paint?

Thank you,

Corey

I tend to like PPG/Ditzler  but its difficult to illegal locally in many cases locally. If you don't have a local shop you like you might want to try TCP Global that I've mentioned a number of times on the site. Likely already have the formula and the sheen level already worked out for you :)

Haven't ordered from them for a while since the local restrictions have gotten tighter - :(
