Neptune Green paint formula
Any idea where I can find the formula for 703 Neptune Green? Is it the same as 503 Glenwood Green? My paint guys having a hard time finding it. Thanks

Re: Neptune Green paint formula
With the Ditzler paint code he should be able to look it up for the mix?

Re: Neptune Green paint formula
I used the ppg code for Neptune green at my local paint supply shop and it isn’t correct . It came out more of a blue green . I was just painting the firewall and few touch up areas . Then I took a cowl piece into another paint shop and they matched it perfect to the original green . I’ll check the numbers when I get home

Re: Neptune Green paint formula
Here’s a couple pics of the fenders I had to paint and match up to the rest of trucks original paint . It’s pretty close to the original compared to the old code I initially used on the firewall .

Re: Neptune Green paint formula
Here is the 703 green I had mixed up the first pic. Like I said it an earlier post it was off and had a blue green tinge too it . Then I had another shop tint match my cowl panel and he came up with this formula the last two pics. Looked close enough for me as it’s a patina truck

I'm not sure why this color is so hard to find. Wonder if any others are this difficult. I may go with 63 Glenwood Green if I can't get it right. It's close to Neptune.

Re: Neptune Green paint formula
Right under PPG, Ditzler, Dupont etc (on the right side) are the paint codes for that year. If your paint guy cant understand them, you need a new paint guy.
