paint color help

[mike romano]

Hi All

mid 30's (35,36 etc) dodge cars call for a Packard Ivory paint for wheel trim and stripe. Does anyone have a crossmatch or newer paint code for this color?

thanks for your help.

one step further.....if anyone has a method for applying the scallop design to the wheels please share with me. Cannot believe each wheel was painted by hand on the UAW assembly line back in 36.

Any good paint store can mix the paint if you have the correct name or number.

They may need to consult the head office and wait 24 hours to get it but all auto paint companies can supply formulas for paints back to the 1920s and earlier. They do need a name or preferably a number to look it up.

Mike,

The correct Packard Ivory paint is available from Pittsburgh Paint. They've been making it for about 75 years and I had my car's wheels and pinstriping done with it. If you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you a photo.

The paint is yellowish and my pinstriper thought it was the wrong paint, but a call to PPG informed me that the color is correct.

The paint is PPG 82134.
