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.

Anyone know a current paint code # for Forest Green – Rootes code 86?

I would like to do some touch up some paint chips in the spring.

 

I’m not sure my 45 year old Qt can of Sherwin William JX-9977 Forest Green will rejuvenate enough to use even as touch up paint.

A current paint code # would make it easier to purchase locally.

 

Actually, It would really be nice if we all had a complete listing of current paint codes numbers for Rootes paint codes.  Anyone know some?

 

Thanks
