This might help with the 'Linden Green' and other period paint formulae
It has original Valentines mixing schedules which can be cross referenced to some PPG codes

Paint Codes

I love Linden Green!

 

[Mike Drew]

Jim--I love it too. That's sort of a deep, dark secret. That wonderful photo of the Linden Green demonstrator car in front of the Alan Mann hauler really does it for me. And then Jesus Pozo went and built what is arguably the nicest SPF GT40 around, and now I'm really thinking hard about it.

I keep coming back to traditional Guardsman Blue with a white center stripe, but you never know....

I'm still years out so it's all just thought anyway!

Mike,
My favourite also - mushy peas green.

I have been toying with the idea of combining the center stripes on my KVA into a single stripe and carrying that around the front hood ala Gulf. Mainly to allow me an easy option in covering up the road rash under the front clip.

In talking about Paint codes, the info that Tim Dutton put together earlier in the year is a really useful document. I don't think it ever became a ‘sticky’ so maybe it's the right time to resurrect it for anyone that missed it.
