Re: {Chrysler 300} ‘65 NN-1 Silver Mist Poly Information

My local PPG supplier can get mixes from original paint codes. I have had Madison Gray and Alaskan White mixed for my J and F. He was not able to get a mix on the dash colors though.

As a data point- The codes I’ve been trying (for 1960-62 colors) are not able to be matched to a formula. This is the problem- paint suppliers have the codes, they see what the color code and name is, but their data systems won’t convert the code into a mixable formula. This has been the case I’ve run into at multiple paint suppliers. The latest car we fixed and sold that required paint (62 NYer) was “coral gray”, and I just mixed the color myself with black, white and red paint.

Would be great if there exists a list of formulas associated with the colors… maybe Steve Albu’s suggested source still has such a list.

It’s been a number of years since I painted my ’65 in original silver mist; pardon me if I’m missing something. I just gave my PPG supplier the code and they mixed it. I sprayed most of the car myself and the first spray-outs matched the original color very well. Are you saying the codes aren’t recognized by suppliers any longer?

I have found over many decades now that TCP Global is the best paint supplier available in terms of color matching and they are one of the very few left that still has available the very fine metallics that were used in our vintage vehicles. Their paint is very high quality and I have never been dissatisfied with my outcomes. Lastly their prices are still very competitive with their competitors: https://tcpglobal.com/pages/automotive-paint-home When on their website, be sure to check out their special insert specifically about their color matching efforts and methods.
The outcome of using their paint is a deep luster that is glowing and satisfying.

What is the replacement for the 32398 Silver Mist NN-1 paint. Could there be an original color mix still available, the custom color paint supplier could not find it.
Thanks, John Klir (708) 724-9199
