Just quickly, whats the name of Paint Code - C3..Silver what?

[shmickmik]

I had a look in the Duplicolour booklet and cannot find a C3 Paint code under the Ford Silver Section. I want to colour code the handles,strips etc

What would be the closest matching can?? thanks

C3 is called Crystal Mint and is a metallic colour.

I reckon the BA colour Ice Mint Silver looks quite similar

Ahhh thanks mate

I am what you would call "colour defficent" (so much so i can't join the army or be a sparky...) but according to this example.. the colours dont really match up do they??

Regarding matching paint cans you can get autobarn to mix up a spray pack for about ~$30

Would i need to bring in the fuel flap so they can match the colour at all?? Or do i just walk in say i need paint code C3 mixed up? For $30 i would at least give it a try :P

You just give them the car make and paint code and they do the rest

It might be a little off because your paint is ~20 years old and would have faded, but when i got paint matched to my first EA for its wheel arches because of rust/ damage it matched perfectly

30 buck spray can paint will look just that.

but then it ante no show car so give it a shot.
