59 Paint Code Help

[Richard B.]

I am having a 59 Corvette painted white exterior, silver coves, and black interior.
The painter is using PPG paint, and has asked if I can obtain the following:
WHITE EXTERIOR:

Color Code

Gallon Formula for Snowcrest White; Toner and Parts

Inca Silver:

Quart Formula for Inca Silver; Toner and Parts

Your help with this will help to insure we get the proper shade of paint.

Thank you,

Go to your PPG store and tell the paint man that he must call auto color library for the formulas you need for your car. He called them for my 65 maroon while I waited and watched him. He got off the phone and they faxed him with the formula. Worked for me. They are not suppose to share this formula with you. If you buy from autocolorlibrary yourself the paint will cost you more and take longer to get. They will send you a spray card of the color. I had my paintman mix up a sample and tested it on one of my factory paint spots left on my car. Applying a sample paint to an original paint spot is way better than a test card. If the sample dissapears into the old paint it's a winner. Mine was. IMHO Dick Gutman
