1938 Paint Codes and Matching wheel colours

[DavidNA]

I have recently bought a 1938 Buick 46S, after chasing it half way around the world, it was repainted some ten + years ago in the US, and stored away ever since. The coupe is now at home with me in Jersey, where I recommissioning it, which is another story in itself.

The paint condition is excellent, but it is flaking on the bulkhead, so I need to match the following colour

Raphael Green Metallic202 52573

My local paint shop uses MaxMeyer paints, however we cannot match on the old Buick number, the earliest they go back to is the 1960's.

So is there any matching modern equivalent to Raphael Green metallic, with a modern paint code that we can try to cross reference.

Secondly, the colour guides also provide a wheel colour of Sevenjay green dulux 94-20118

Is this a darker green ? , is it a flat or metallic, and could anyone help me with what the colour may be close to.

Thx in advance

David, I'm no help on the paint questions, but I sure do like your '38. Really nice looking car!

Thx John, I really liked the colour, so keen to get it all right.

any reputable shop should be able to match existing paint on a car, if the existing paint color is what you are after

Hi Billy,

Possibly but it seems to give them a problem to get an even match, but thanks for the thought
