Re: Paint Time

Thanks for the info...you are a world of info on these Canadian cars!

Any of course you are correct...I checked the paint code, it's PP. Is that the Flame Red (1 or 2) you mentioned?

I scrapped off the top of the rad support the thin generic red paint the car is currently painted (looked like crap anyhow), and below was the original paint, its a deep red, almost a burgendy or wine color.

It's a nice color, the car must have looked really sweet when it was new! Looking forward to putting it back that way.

PPG 71393 Roman Red, code T, was used on Ameican 1964 Chryslers, but
not Canadian. The Canadian red was Flame Red and was replaced by
Flame Red No 2 in mid-year. Flame Red No 2 was used by Chrysler
Canada in 1965 as well.

What is the paint code on the body tag?

Also, Chrysler of Canada did not use lacquer paint after WW II, only
enamel, which by the 1960's was acrylic enamel.
.
The site that you used to get Carmine Red should have Roman Red. They
have Ditzler paint chips going back to 1929.
