Hello,
Just curious if anyone has a current formula for Mediterranean Blue Poly as used on a 1956 Chrysler? I am trying to help a friend with his project. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Josh

Thanks for sharing that. I looked at the links, but did not see formulas. Am I overlooking them?
Thanks!

It's my understanding that the old formulas do not carry over to the materials available in todays paints. What I ended up doing was taking the trunk lid, which had excellent original cypress green metallic paint on the underside, in to have it electronically scanned. It was then uploaded to the website and from now on anyone wanting the color will have an exact match of the formula used on my car.

When I asked Martin Auto Color in Los Angeles for the correct mix for my '57 Chrysler, they gave me the run-around at first, but eventually, all they needed to look it up in the PPG catalog was the Year, Make, and the simple paint code, like LL1, NNN, etc. depending on the year (note that this is the paint code but only using one of the letters). After that, they were able to give me exact mix, based on their books. Keep in mind though, that these mixes aren't always accurate, so that taking b5rt's advice is likely to give you the best results.

Another factor to consider is that the color will look different depending on the color of your primer. Always do sprayouts on white, light gray and dark gray cards. Then compare with a sample in a remote area of your car that hasn't seen sunlight or exposure.
