Paint code

[steptoe]

 not 100% sure what colour scheme you're looking for,but
 here's the formula for Macho Maroon. Your local paint shop should be able to
decipher all the numbers and what they mean. It. actually is a 3 part paint.
with a base, mid, and clear coat. good luck!! All mixtures are for pints
BASE COAT DDL 51197

MIXTURE FOR BASE COAT
DMA 362 425
DMA 358 470
DMA 310 498

MID COAT DDL 51198

MIXTURE FOR MIDCOAT

DMA358 43
DMA307 74
DMA360 358

These are all for lacquer and a clearcoat on top.

I had my tank colour scanned at the local PPG store, this is what they
came up with for a basecoat/clearcoat mix.

No real paint codes, bits came painted from the factory as complete bits BUT Mal Pitman has a mate with the gear to work out the paint codes so maybe a chat with him would help.
Max has worked out quite a few
