Correct modern codes for mixing paint

[T.mollergren]

Car is Dodge Coronet 1966
Fender tag says qq1, and that´s red metallic 71476(some number i have found)

Been to my local paintshop, but they can´t find the right codes to mix it.
don´t know what to look för myself either.

That's a good chart. We've always used Ditzler/PPG, with R&M clear.

These formulas get deleted over the years. I went to my PPG dealer for my '62 Dodge color. It was only available in lacquer, not enamel. They contacted their tech and was sent a formula that didn't match. The dealer stated maybe another brand could have the right formula.

I left the hood to my car with them for a color matching and the next day he came up with a Chrysler color that was a perfect match. (Different name, same color)

So there might be other colors in the mopar world that are the same color but have a different name and code, depending on Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler and different years.

An automotive paint supply store should be able to put a camera on a panel like the hood, take a picture and come get a formula.

Thanx.

But 72192 Is that the same as 71476?

The car has been repainted by privius owner, but i found some unpainted areas behind the backseat that the sun not have touched. doorframes also red but worn and bleeched.

Gonna try to get the car to paint supplyer tomorrow and make them shot the color with somekind of spectra/spectrum to get the right match.

Mine was repainted as well and I needed a spray can of touch up. It is about a shade lighter than B5. They (Keytone automotive) matched it perfectly AND put it in a spray can.

My supplier is using Standox, anyone knowing correct number (code) for that make when serching for the right color?

between PPG and Dupont.. they can take a camera reading from inside a door jam.. and duplicate the color fairly close to the original.. Most paint companies these days.. just dont have the Formulas for the old paint codes in the compute systems..
