hi guys, want to fix some paint issues on my 66 f85. but unfortunally i do not find the colour where i live. I do have the paint codes but no shop can do anything with that codes! are there other "new" codes, or where can i order that paint (spraycan)?

Olds code: H
Gm Code: WA3303
DUPont Code: 4633L 181-97223

Paint codes for 1966 Laurel Mist data code "H" from 1966 Chassis Service Manual page O-12 are as follows:

Dupont 4633-L
Rinshed-Mason A-1716
Ditzler 43391

These might be easier to find. Hope this helps.

TCP Global will mix paint to the original formulas and claims that they can ship to Europe.

You first need to locate a paint vendor who sells one of the brands for which codes were provided above - Dupont, Rinshed-Mason, or Ditzler. Tell they that you need a cross reference to an old lacquer paint code from the 1960s. A reputable paint vendor SHOULD be able to cross that code to a modern formula.

Some of the early paint can't be made because the tinting bases are not available. This company offers OEM lacquer paints in OEM colors.
