I've purchased mirrors and I want them painted professionally.
Does any one know a source for the various Superformance paint codes.
In my case, I need it for titanium.
Thanks.

My MKI is titanium as well. I know I have the paint code here somewhere. I believe it's the same PPG titanium as used on the Lamborghini's. By the way, you should have received a tin of the exact same batch of paint used to paint your car. It's way more than enough to do your mirrors and still do paint chips for years to come.
This should give you the info you need. :thumbsup:
An easier to read version of this will go into the "How To" section of GT40s.com for reference

Hi- Tech Recommended Fiberglass Repair Materials Isophthalic Resin is recommended for any repair. Any supplier material can be used.
Chop strand mat in various weights can be used to achieve approximate 5mm thickness.
E.g. 225grms, 300grms.450grms or imperial measures 1oz, 1.5oz, or 2oz.
2700grms dry weight would give 4.8 mm thickness.

My car is serial number P2120...one of the first batch of Superformance (SPF) GT40 cars made. It is Indigo Blue with Viper Steel Gray stripes. It is a Mark II (MKII) version of the GT40.
Google Ditzler paint codes, I have found other paint brands color codes. I went down to one of the paint stores (SW) and they could not or would not tell me what I wanted to know, a little Googling and I found it.
