[Tigers] Forest Green

Ron; 

I recently had my 1966 Tiger restored and we painted it
original Rootes code 86. So on December 31, 2013, the painter had some
single stage touch up paint mixed at O'Reilly's Paint store in Columbia,
Mo. These guys have a great local reputation for color matching and
mixing. They nailed the color of the convertible top frame, light/medium
gray for the Tiger. They also nailed the factory color 86 with the help
of the local DuPont rep. The car is painted with DuPont Chroma Premier,
base and Chroma Premier Clear for the second stage, 3 coats. The
Spectramaster code is GS280 and the single stage touch up is GS280IE.
The car is beautiful and has been shown at 2 of the last 3 Shelbyfests
held locally inn Hermann, Mo and now Jefferson City, Mo. Hope this
helps. Note that DuPont was bought out by Axalta. I can send a couple
pictures if you wish, esp since you are always a big help for us.

JX-9977 Forest Green will rejuvenate enough to use even as touch up
paint.
