Looking to find the correct formula(match) for the 68 Ash Gold paint color....

Interested in what has worked as of now to match this color....I know the paint code from 68
but that's what was used back then....Assuming its all different today?

Thanks

Thanks Lee

Anyone use any of the about and get the right match?
Thought I read somewhere, that Sherwin had the best match?

Thanks again

I've used both Dupont lacquer and Sherwin Williams base/clear. Hands down Sherwin was best. Dead on in color as well. First mix and spray out matched my cowl sides perfect. It is NOT an easy color to spray. The color flips and flops depending on the light....Goes from mint to olive & gold to green. Love it!

That's beautiful
Really a great color grabs your attention....

So, did you have Sherwin do the mix?

Thank you. The mix was done at the Body shop with there system, Danny used the default mix ratio for the color. He was all paronoid after just respraying a Butterscotch RR multiple times to get the shade right. I told him to follow the "book" and due a spray out. The match was perfect. I like to say there's more green than gold. We jammed mine first, then rehung all the metal to keep the spray out consistant. Took a bit longer, but with the crazt tint and metallic, we didn't want anything noticable.
