Place where I can find really old paint chips, codes etc????

[Roothawg]

Looking for a particular shade of Navy and Ivory. Thinking a 40's Ford color chip would be really close. Any websites out there with cross reference charts?

Thanks

Someone referred me to:

www.autocolorlibrary.com (http://www.autocolorlibrary.com)


yesterday.. Their database was down, but supposedly when it works, it's covers a lot of years.

You might email them on the 'contact us' page though...

I need a digital cam/scan bad. I have two Old Dupont paint Chip book's that goe's to early '50's. The name's of some of these color's are cool too.

PPG Concept is the finish we used on my roadster -- '36 Ford Washington Blue. There was an excellent unrestored original Washingtin Blue '36 Ford five-window coupe in Tardel's shop about the time we painted the roadster, and the PPG color was a dead-nuts match for the original color on the pillars and on the door jambs of the '36. We were impressed.

Mike, that sounds like the color I had in mind. You don't happen to have a color code do ya?

Yes, it is planned to be a non metallic. Just wondering about the gloss retention etc.
