Sam - I am needing the same information. There is a post, started by Flames4555, on a paint code for Mean Green. I bought a quart of this blend, but found it was not a good match to a well perserved section of paint on my 295/s tunnel.

My next plan of attack was to take the tunnel over to my local PPG supplier and have them match it using their hi-tech camera. One thing I need to find out is, will this system work on paint with metal flake in it?

If any of you guys have more info on this subject, please send it our way!

Thank you

Yes that system will read metal flake.

Here's what I got a few years back for colors for the 295/S. This was taken from underneath the rubber foot pads with a computerized paint camera in 2003.

I think this is a PPG Paint, but I'm not sure
5462K Cost Code Chromabase BC Alt: CF01
Code 4284
Car GM Corporation
1972 corvette color (Elkhart Green)
(Mix thoroughly soon after weighing)
Value Shade #5
Metalic/Iridescent content > 5 grams/liter
** non-cum guide mix size: 16 oz (pint)
4530S FLOP CONTROL AGENT 58.4
832J Green 95.1
891J Transox Red 109.0
806J HS Black 114.3
811J Med Aluminum 119.0
846J Yellow Orange 122.5
890J Transox Yelo 125.7
150K B/C Balancer 357.8
175K Binder 433.9

I do have an older paint code that was sent to me and was printed in 1999, but not sure if this is PPG either, or not.
DCC45736***
Color Olive Met

DMC920 Weak Tin 2.1 2.1

DMC927 Transpar 315.9 82.1
DMC983 Aluminum 366.7 50.8
DMC984 Clear 544.8 178.1

Hope this is what you need. I never got any of this paint mixed up, so not sure if it's correct or not.

MATT, CAN WE PUT THIS IN THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PART?

Thanks and good luck. Let me know which, or both of these are correct.

Ivy Bronze metalic was a perfect match on my 340/s sleds . I always thought that was the same color used on the 295/s and Cyclone. Maybe not . My mistake, Sorry about that.

Flames - my local paint shop might have mixed the paint a bit different than what you sprayed on your Cyclone. Whatever the case, your sled looked great in the pics you posted! Thanks guys for all the input.

38 days until the HOF ride!!

Yet another thing that constantly amazes me is how, if I open it up, some of the old sled paint is still useable! The touchup pens especially altho how a spray can can still work all these years later is a mystery to me. John Deere quality I guess!

I well remember trying to get RID of all the old sled paint! We made people paint their gates, corrals, toolboxes, anything at all to get that old paint sold. Same with the touchup pens, we must have had 25 of each of the touchups left laying around.

What idiots we were! I managed to save a few but sure wish I had the others back now.
Same with the bicycle paint. Rich, remember Sail White? lol
