Looking to identify this color, thinking Seafoam Green but not sure of paint color. Looks similar to a 68 Mustang Seafoam Green? I’m thinking of painting my 39 Deluxe Coupe same color. Thank You Joe https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10222585521765360&set=gm.3773347922718493&type=3&sfns=mo
1968 Ford colors Seafoam Green looks similar? I get it, it’s hard to tell exactly from photos. View attachment 5006670
It's probably based on the original folkstone grey. There has been more than one thread about this colour over the years. And no, you can't just get the old formula and ask the paint shop to make it anymore (lots of threads on that too,) which is why I say the colour is 'based on...'
I wish TCP Global still had that color chart you could scroll though. Their gone modern web page messes with that. I may have an original Martin Senior paint chart from 1968 with that page in it but it is out in the garage, it is 10 pm and raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock outside.
I think I'd agree with you in that it looks similar. The color on the chart only looks similar to the color on the 39. The Body shop I use has there own mixing station as do most now days. Along with there own base and toners they have full sets of color Fans. That is every tone of each color on a fan. That way they can get an exact match for a repair. They no longer start with a factory mix of paint and then hope it matches or continue to tone on sight until it does match. I would advise you find one that will let you look at there Color fan out in the Sunlight and find the exact tone of Green you want and have it mixed on sight not to mix code. Something else I've learned in the past few years is that todays paints need proper primer tone to get an exact finish paint tone. They can also use a flattening agent to get a nice Enamel looking finish instead of the Base coat Clear coat look.
Yes, that’s a great answer, I figured nowadays they could do something like this, but I’m not a paint guy,....HVAC,...yes that I know,
