<VV> Paint Formulas/Code

[Norman C. Witte]

Gerald,

The argent is a standard color that you should be able get from most paint
catalogs.  In a Krylon spray bomb dull aluminum is pretty close.  My body
man gave me information for Regal Red used on my '65 Corsa.  The following
formula makes 1 pt red, and the codes are Sherwin Williams.  Mixing order
matters and the weight totals are cumulative:

7109 Clear 210 grams
7141 Orange 330 grams
7139 Violet 418 grams
7181 Black 430 grams
7300 Dryer 442 grams
7080 White 450 grams

Pictures of the red are available here:

Hope that helps.
