Laurentine Green

[JRoberts]

This was discussed in an earlier thread, but I have not been able to find any formulas or even a paint chart with the Laurentine Green on it. I was informed on the earlier thread that is is a Canadian color. Can anybody help me find any information on this paint color? Thanks.

My Cruiser was originally Laurentine Green!!! The first time my brother (HotWheels63R2) painted 'Sweet Pea' he got the color pretty darn close. I'm sorry to say, but I seem to remember it being a '70s Toyota color. [:0] [xx(] [V]
Recently I've seen some new Fords running around in a color that looks like a pretty close match. There is still some of the '65 paint left in one (or more) of my door jambs, maybe I can do something about getting you a match [?] [?] [?]

This last time around the color he got has a touch more silver in it. You can see a link to a picture of her on the Member's Photo page~ look on page 'two'...

Indeed that is the color!

I noticed that you don't have factory mounted mirrors on Sweet Pea. My cruiser has never had outside mirrors and I really did not want to drill holes in her. I was thinking about using the type of mirror I see on your car. I just didn't know how it would look and I see that it looks just fine. Thanks a lot.
