Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Hello Dave. Do you know what the name or number for that blue color is? (That is what my Packard is supposed to look like.)
Gary

Gary,

According to the infio in Dave's Registry entry for the car it's - Code B, Packard Blue Metallic. But there's nothing in the Paint Cross-Reference for a modern equivalent.

Unfortunately; I is titled as a 1949. That is all I have to go from. That and somewhere back to previous owners a new plate was made.

Thanks

Hi Gary. Well sir, It came with a quart of touch up paint. It looks like royal blue in the sun light, and very dark blue in the shade. I can give you the info on the can. This must have been computer matched from some of the old paint from the car.

Brand: PPG
Paint: Omni (AE) Acrylic Enamel
Brand code; PMXICF641
OEM Code: Custom 190435
Description: Midnight Blue

Hi Gary; I'm still trying to help you out.
I found tonight on page 177 in a Book called 1948 to 1950 Packard's, by Robert J Neal. The "in color" paint schemes. for the 22 and 23rd series in the book is dead on, they are calling French Blue, no metallic in it, and that's what I have. It is a beautiful color. Find out how much the paint person needs for a computer color match size wise. I would consider removing a piece of paint and send it to you. For sure depending on its size!

Happy Holidays

Also, Gary in the book it is listed as paint code K. I'm glad the restorer decided on this color instead of Paint code B. I would not have bought it otherwise. This was always my favorite color for is vintage of Packard's
