Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I've also used TCP Global. I've been to their store several times picking out the color I want for my 901. Their color library has over 125,000 paint chips in it going back to 1903.

In their on-line color library they show a '37 color chart with Packard Cream in it. Call them up and you should be able to order a quart in acrylic enamel to see if it is what you want.

While they will not tell you who makes their store brand, their warehouse is full of 50 gallon drums of PPG. I my tour of the warehouse, I did not see all other drums from another manufacturer. It is priced at 2/3s the cost of PPG.

I had TCP Global mix up some acrylic lacquer for me for a (dare I say) 1955 Porsche. They were missing the color chip and formula for this particular color as is everyone else, so I took a small original panel and they color matched it. I had quotes from the local PPG supplier at $1,047 per gallon. TCP was at under $300 per gallon. They told me that they could supply it in PPG also, but the cost would be around $900 per gallon. They also told me that they manufacture their own lacquer. I questioned them on the components (resins, etc.) and was very satisfied with the answers they gave. Highly recommend them.
