Title: 1969 Dark Ivy Door Panel colors
Post by: DonH on April 25, 2014, 05:57:29 PM

I have a '69 with Dark Ivy Gold interior. The door upper garnish moldings have a worn finish and I want to repaint them. The lower painted panel and upper garnish molding are definitely a different shade of green than the original vinyl door panel, as you can see in this picture.
There is an old PPG color chart that shows the correct color for those parts as Dark Ivy Poly 43614
You can see that chart front and back here:

Does anybody know if any of the commercially available spray cans of interior paint are correct for this color?
Thanks,
Don

TCP global is a good choice online, I am not sure if they will mix it and put in a spray can for you. But they will mix it in the correct lacquer in a minimum quart size. They sell it with the correct reducer. You mix it 1 part color   to 1 1/2 thinner.  I'd ask for a medium reducer.  If you don't have a paint gun and compressor or access to one then that is a problem.

First welcome to the site - hope you find it useful in your efforts.



You can purchase the interior paint in rattle cans from most of the suppliers - now finding one that is a good match to the original paint may be like playing the lotto.

Like Armond offered there are some places that will mix and put the paint in rattle cans as part of a special order but expect to pay for it and buy a minimum number of cans with the order

Biggest challenge is that paint shops can't use the old codes and the mixes to make the color in most cases. The place Armond mentioned has reformulated man y of the old colors and would be the place I would start

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.

After I searched and posted here I started reading a lot of the other posts and realized I had wandered into the "big boys" room! No concourse restoration for me, just fixing up a nice survivor and figured I should try to get it right where possible. But I am so impressed with the amount of technical knowledge and attention to detail that is apparent here. Thanks to all who are so willing to share their expertise!
