Re: [Chrysler300] !@#$%^& paint code for cloud white

["johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I don't have the code, but I remember years ago having a conversation with Roger regarding this.  My painter did research and found both the Jaguar and Ford whites, but one was way off.  I believe he ended up finding a "virgin" spot on the car and matched that "original paint color".

The brand he used was Sikkens which he has used on all of our other restorations.  He uses only the Sikkens brand products throughout.  It was and I'm sure still "EXPENSIVE" but he convinced me it was the best.  From what I've heard it is use on aircraft and I've also heard that companies like Mercedes Benz, BMW and Porsche use it.

The paint on our B looks like the day the car was first finished and has proven to be extremely durable.  Bottom line is you get what you pay for.

Looking forward to seeing many of you next week in Maine,

  When we did our B some years ago, we had the same issue. Was able to get a Deltron color, that was the same as a Jaguar, that was the same as a Ford truck that was the same as Chrysler's Cloud White for 1956. Color on the car is absolutely correct. Somewhere I have the recipe.

  However it would take me a lot of searching thru stuff to find the formulation, but this information may be a starting point for you.

  I'll bet that John L. knows the code.

  Paint has been on now some 20 years and is still flawless in appearance.

  Hey Dennis -

  I have an old Martin Senour paint book, listing 57 Cloud White as 61T-2382
  for lacquer and 80T-964 for 'Synthol'. I'm sure either can be
  cross-referenced to a modern formulation.
