[Amc-list] Fw: PPG paint recipes?

["RetroRalph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right... I haven't seen one that looked right to me yet...  And a lot of it is that those old chips in the books have deteriorated and some colors deteriorate faster that others.  So most won't really look as good as the finished product and usually the chips are darker.  Also, my eyes are not very color precise, according to my wife....  There is a lot of color differences from even the new chips as much depends on the applicator and the type of paint.

Well you can't really trust the online paint chips
because of differences in scanner settings and setting
on your monitor.  If you go to a PPG jobber with the
paint code, they might have a copy of the original PPG
paint chip chart.  You can always ask them to mix the
minimum amount of paint, also spray it on a piece of
sheet metal and see if you're satisfied.
