Midyear paint matching help

[Jake Sovia]

My 67 Marlboro Maroon (code688) is at the paint shop. Base and clear. The painter mixed a small batch of paint directly from the eight part base code directions supplied by the manufacturer. But the color looks wrong. Looks more like Milano Maroon. The last midyear he did, in fact, was a 66 Milano Maroon. The ingredients and amounts are clearly different, so it's not just a case of the code being for the wrong year.

The paint brand is RM. Can anyone offer some suggestions? He's got a call back into the supplier, and has also suggested he might be able to match the color against some chips. Though I'm not very comfortable with that approach. Even though there is some virgin paint from where the carpets had been. Thanks. Jake

You want to use DuPont....It has the correct metallic grind size and was the OEM supplier.

Jake, is your Rinshed-Mason paint No.A-1914F ? Here are some other 67 Marlboro Maroon Factory colors,mfr: and Numers, Ditzler-71584 or Dupont-4836-LM. All are 67 Factory colors and paint numbers for Marlboro Maroon.

You should have either a blk/saddle or white interior. I've got the hood paint numbers also.grr#33570
