Irish Green PPG

[kenikh]

Kenik-
That might be somethig worth posting for more general use. I'm in need of matching Burgundy myself, which I know from experience is a tough color to match. My local paint store (there are only 2 for automotive stuff) didn't have any information about colors from 1970.

Scott, read this too late. I will be back at the paint house early next week to my color. I'll check then.

Kenik--Just curious as I haven't researched this myself yet, but do your guys have 6606 Irish Green formula in Glasurit 22 line?? I have my paint books in storage but they only cover 21 line anyway (the previous single stage)--different toners..........................
Thanks,
Jim

Jim, if you use Alan's search tool you get the formula for Glasurit Line 22. Damon (Series900) is a PPG shop, but he's doing a job now with Glasurit and I might be able to convince him to shoot line 22 on my car. . . that said we'll probably end up using PPG now that we have formulas.

The factory didn't use Urethane, they used Enamel.

FWIW, PPG DAR is described as 'Acrylic Urethane Enamel' on the can.

See our comments about Dupont's DULUX (synthetic enamel) in Kenik's DIY paint thread........................

Happenened to be at my auto body shop supplier this AM and dug up the following information:

Irish Green -- Color Code: 1515 -- Paint Code 213 -- OEM Code: L60E

Original Paint manufacturer: Lesanol 1-laquer based --

Mixing scheme: DURACRYL (DDL)

PPG Brand Code: 44249 -- Revisioin date 7/31/'75
__________________________________________________ _______________
DMA317 -- Green -- 86.9 Parts
DMA364 -- Rich Brown -- 69.1 Parts
DMA 346 -- Black -- 46.8 parts
DMA 329 -- yellow -- 46.0 parts

Note: that's the formula if you were to paint the car today using current PPG DDL laquer paints. I'll have the enamel urethane formula on Monday if you still need it. (The color library on the East Coast was closed when I got this info). Will you require H20 based or solvent based product.
