HELP!!!!!!!

[Tom]

I'm having a set of wheels done by spit and polish and they don't have the paint code for electric/monza blue.

 

Does anyone know the mix formula or know of a similar colour from a newer car that i can get the paint code for?

 

thanks

U - ELECTRIC/MONZA BLUE AUG 71/JULY 72

[Tom]

yeah i've got the paint code but they cant match it on their system cos they haven't got the mix formula

[kirk10]

give me 5 mins to load me lap top and will give you the formula

I always use spies hecker colour finder and it's almost never failed to come up trumps for me

It finds Monza and Electric blue though there are a number of different listings for each name

 

Electric Blue has two listings under code U, both listed from 1970 to 1972 but having different panel numbers. I've no idea what they mean by panel numbers but once you've established the right one and the paint system, you can go on to get details of the paint mix. Probably worth a call to them to clarify any details

 

Monza Blue has listings from 1972 to 1974 under code 793 and two different panel numbers

hard 1 to find but what its come up with is

001 bianco-------47.10g

064 bleu---------43.00g

271 verde-------09.40g

281 nero--------00.50g

thats for 10000.0g weight of paint

aug is just the paint code but some times with ford codes you just use the last 2 letters weird i no but thats how it is

your paint suplyer should be able to cross referance them weights and colours i gave ya

if you get really stuck i will mix it me self for ya lol
