Matthew Abate Posted August 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) So my painter was supposed to scan the paint before they finished the sandblasting, but they didn’t do it, so now he’s asking me to find out what formula he should use while he tries to figure it out on his end. The car was 918 originally, but the several threads I’ve found about that paint are inconclusive. I remember seeing someone say they figured out the right formula so it doesn’t end up dark sludgy orange brown and comes out the right spicy orange that it’s supposed to be. If anyone can point me to the right threads or just tell me what I should tell the painter I would appreciate it. So far the only advice I have found is "get the leaded PPG formula," get "Dupont Chromo-based paints," and the code is "PPG 60636," but I don't know if that is adequate. I also found this on a site called Paintref.com: Year: 1972 Make: Datsun Color Name: Mexican Orange Code: 918 Ditzler PPG: 60636 Dupont: 8715 Sherwin Williams: 4334 Is that all he needs? Any help would be much appreciated! Edited August 25, 2018 by Matthew Abate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did I think that would be so hard?I feel like we should make a sticky thread that has this for all the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Abate Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted August 26, 2018 http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.htmlI’m missing something. The Z Home site doesn’t have anything that tells him how to mix the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
