Looking for some paint for 63 Lark

[sirhc123]

Can any one please tell me a place to start looking for paint for my Lark. The code is P 6313 Green Mist, I live in south eastern MN and I can not find anyone around here to mix me anything that comes close to the color.

I found a FLAPS that carried DuPont paint products very helpful with older car and truck paints.
I don't know what has happened since DuPont sold it's automotive paint division to Axcalta or Excalta or something like that.

If Dupont does not work, try having your Automotive Paint Store check out PPG or RM Brand's color charts and formulas.

This should be no harder than matching a '60's, '70's or '80's GM or Ford color, they do this everyday.

Chris, if you go to your Duplicate post before someone posts on it you will be able to click on "Delete" at the bottom of the page to remove it.

Well, it looks like a good site, but if you type in Yellowknife gold (a 1966 color) and even if you put in the paint code, it indicates it as a 1963 color even thought it is not on their paint chart. Also, it looks as though that is the only year they reference (1963). It might be great paint, but their website is, um, not quite up to the task. It does give pricing, but then again I have to ask if this is REALLY for the color I entered in or something else? I think the only way of getting accurate answers would be by telephone.

Also, if you start at the beginning on their site in CLASSIC, there is no mention of Studebaker or even Packard in the dropdown menu. Wolseley and Simca yes, but Studebaker, no. I don't know who their marketing and website people are, but this is just poor and kind of dumb.

If you can remove a small flat part, polish it good and take it to any paint store. They should be able to match it with a small reader that they have and then tint the color to match your part. I do it all the time on repaints where I have no idea what they used for color. Most times it's a pretty good match.

I mixed this exact color for my 1963 Cruiser. Car now resides in Conn w/ Chip D. Match was dead-on. At shows you'll find several different "best" matches..... go to Ray-Lin's website and look for that code/formula.....
