For the book, I'm compiling ALL the paint code information for the GT/CS, and would like to know if I "missed" anything.
I have a really good guy at a local Auto Paint Supply store that is willing to dig out "everything" for my book. In fact, he has a friend currently restoring a GT/CS....
I managed to find ALL the current corresponding paint codes for the 1968 Body colors. This includes both Ditzler/PPG, and DuPont. So, instead of getting an educated guess at a body shop, you'll now have a current color code to today's automotive paints.
I am also including the following colors and textures:
- Interior Colors (dash, panels, etc.)
- Primers: underside, interior, and rear axle parts.
- Under hood black (engine bay)
- Exact grille color (we're going to scan an original (non-faded) marchal bracket that I have, and they will know what color code # that will correspond with).
- Underside black
- Spray-on Vinyl Top (texturized), black and white.
- SS Wheel Argent color
- Ford Engine (block to air cleaner) Blue
- Exhaust manifold, etc., paint; concours parts paint (and stripe and markings colors).
My question is...did I leave anything out??
My intent here is to make it so much easier for people to do their own restorations; like assembling a giant model car, by knowing all these color codes, procedures, etc...
--thanks for your help!

p.s. I'm also including the colors codes for Little Red, and the Green Hornet, for people that would like to build their own versions.
