OK guys...pullin up a year old string.....
I have gone to the paint supply store with three different options for the Gulf paint codes. This supply store is probably the most used paint supply source for the local body shops. I provided the following information:
Blue: PPG P030-8013 or 12163
Orange: PPG P030-3393 or 60812
I was told the orange is no issue, but the blue is not a current color in the PPG book.
Also, provided the color codes above, but apparantly the base colors are only available to PPG repair shop locations (some Global Installer system marketing thing they have). Don't understand the what's/why's of it, bottom line is the local paint supply store doesn't have the base (toner) numbers listed. However, if I knew the finish volume, the guy I deal with is willing to call a shop and have it mixed for me, but since he isn't the one doing it, wants to eliminate all risk. Therefore wanted me to find out what the mixed volume is. He speculated based on the gram counts that is was a quart to quart and a half.
CANUK40: Do you know what the finished/mixed volume is?
Last Q on the topic: I found a blue that looks extremely close..by eye anyway. It is PPG 13588 Skylight Blue (Chrysler color from 70s). Anyone know of a way to view this color on line?
Thanks,
Rob
