sebastienbuick Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hello, I would like to repaint my Buick electra 1969 in the original color, but the problem is that the car is too old and there is no longer the reference of the paint which is listed.The original shade is: Trumpet Gold poly (PNT code 65)On the manual "trim / color 1969 Buick", this shade has this reference: 2082.How can I reproduce this color now in France?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Luddy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Any decent professional paint mixer can figure this one out. If they can't move on til you find the right guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryankazmer Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 yes, it's a metallic. It's important to use the same relatively small aluminum flake size 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 My mom had a '69 Electra 4 door, it was a very dark color, no vinyl top. Prior to that she had a 50's-something Buick green/white 4 door special. After the '69 it was a '76 Buick Electra 2 door brownish with a vinyl top. My folks used to trade in the old car on a newer used car, a used one only about 2 or 3 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our Funeral Fleet were a Cadillac Grey and all had been painted in Canada. We/I brought a new hearse back from Lima painted the same Grey. Across the street from each other they looked a match but in the procession it was different. All due to the different size metallic in Canadian and American paint.

bryankazmer Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The quantity, type, and size of metallic are part of the paint formula. Whoever matches it selects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike6024 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_swatch_buick_1969 Yes color code 65 is the one, Trumpet Gold. 1969 Buick ( Buick's code? 65) Trumpet Gold Paint Manufacturer Codes PPG/Ditzler : 2082 Dupont : 927-99333, 5010A, 5010D, 99333, 5010L, 5010 Acme/Rogers : 5562 Martin Senour : 4418 Sherwin Williams : L11-N2882 Arco : S-9561, AE-3495, 6305, L-5384 RM/BASF : A2106D Just so you understand, all these codes are for the SAME COLOR. The Buick color 65 "translates" to these other codes for the various manufacturers. For example, if you want to make Buick color 65 using PPG paint you use the PPG formula "2082" Does that make sense? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
