Modern Paint code

Home away from home

Does anybody have a modern code for the 1955 Turquoise and Moonstone? I checked the paint-x but did not see them crossed over.

I am painting my engine with the bronze paint formula that Dwight supplied. Great product and the color is right on.

Would you be so kind, now, as to add these to our Packard Paint X-ref?

All added. I will ask our rep if he can transfer the rest of the colors over.

I appreciate your help on this, as it seems to me that many of the 55-56 paint colors were rather exclusive to Packard.

jreeder41, thanks for the effort. I'd just caution folks that some of us, myself included, have seen "modern paint formulas" from some paint blenders that aren't particularly faithful to the originals as found in dealer showroom books that have been well-preserved and kept out of damaging daylight.

So, I'd always recommend getting a minimum amount first just to verify the match.
