    I have been trying to find the paint code for a nice green/grey color like those that came on the 46-48 dodges or mid 40's ford. 'Shoul green grey' is the name of a color I really like.. I see lots of restored cars using the these colors but no luck finding a code that the local paint store can use to mix up the color. I do not want a pearl or metallic color but an vintage solid.. it is going on my Modified project....

    Here are a few cars/ bikes that are similar to the color i am looking for (several from GNRS this year).

    my preference is this bike from Reeds

    or this one on a chevy suburban..

    I do not have a picture of the factory Dodge color from the 46-48...

    this one is alittle more green but close..

    If anyone knows of some paint codes that would be welcomed

    model A's had a nice factory Gray Green. Your 3rd photo is Ford "Cloud Mist Gray" from the 40's.

    GA, I have actually pulled two paint codes (for the 46-48 dodge) and the local PPG paint store could not find a receipe for it.. That is one of the reasons I am asking now,, maybe some one has painted a car or restored a dodge and knows the code or had a paint can in the garage with some data.. I tried contacting Reeds to see if I could get some info on the paint color for the bike they painted but never got a single response (maybe they never got it, maybe someone at the shop is on here and can help)..

    the cherokee gray on your second link is really close

    A friend wants to paint his 34 a color like that, I guess it's like the new Teal (remember the 90s?)

    The 40 color is indeed cloud mist grey as previously stated-have done 4 40's this color over the years-always take a spare piece ( always have an extra chin piece painted as they get hit now and then) and I go the paint store and have it mixed--do the same for stock 40 deluxe dash colors. There is also a slightly lighter color of CMG used on 49-51 Ford pickups but I don't have a sample of that one.

    Boones, take some pics down to the paint shop and mix your own custom color...i like those greens also.
     
  7. send me the PPG codes and I will get with the color library this week. I have to do this all the time for shops in our area.
