a good source for paint codes? - looking for GOLD

I'm getting ready to start painting my car

Maybe someone over here can help me - I am do a 55 Buick and I'm looking for a light metalic gold and a nice (non-met) cream -

anyone know where to get the codes from?
thanks in advance


HOK are real nice - but are probably not in my price line - a local shop by me can mix up some color - but I need code #'s

This is a mid eightys Chrysler colour called ,gold dust , choosing a colour is hard work good luck

 

Theres a mid 80's chevy/gmc truck gold that looks real good. I think its champeign gold or something like that.

 

Try this database for colors with the name "gold" in them

Once you have a year/model/code in mind, you can also use this database to look at scanned color chips

No guarantee that any two databases will give the same results!

 

Take a look at Chrysler Inca Gold used on Prowlers and PT Cruisers. Lots of images on Google.

THANKS -this is a good start -

I have considered the Inca Gold before - it's very bright - not sure i can commit to that for the long haul - but it's really a sweet color!

 

OK, how about 1998 Camaro Sport Gold?

Take a look at 72 Monte Carlo placer gold. I painted my 48 that color in 1973 and didn't know to clear it and had a satin paint job 35 years before they came into vogue.

It's hard to beat the cream that was usually used with Sierra Gold on 56 and 57 Chevs and other GM cars in those years.

 

TCP Global They seem to have every paint code ever made for a car

 

Indian Chief Gold. 73 Corvette color I think. Itsa a very deep gold.

 

THATS THE ONE I had in mind

what's the Cream on those?

thanks everybody (even though it ain't over yet) - but for right now this is a killer combo

 

Ditto on the TCP Gobal auto library and you can choose the type of paint. Originally, your Buick was Lacquer.

 

excelent

how is this quality of paint?
