<VV> Frost Green touch up (was about GB paint code)

[steven at sashimi.org]

Hey Frost Green fans, after seeing a couple of Fords (and Mazdas) that
looked really close to the color on my Vair, I decided to try a bottle of
Ford Kiwi Green touch up paint.  The match was nearly perfect, though I
wasn't sure if the color on my car was really Frost Green as it had been
repainted in 1997.  

Well, I just looked up the two colors on the website below and they're the
same PPG code! Unless I'm reading this wrong, that means the colors are the
same formulation.  

So you can pick up a bottle of touch up to match at your local Ford,
Mercury, (and probably Mazda) dealer as it's a 2007 and 2008 color!

'69 Monza Ct., 140/PG Frost Green

Go to:

1964 Meadow Green Poly is PPG 43264. GM code 905.

A local PPG supplier should be able to mix this in any type paint sold 
in your area. The GM code number 905 should be good enough to get the 
color mixed in any brand of paint, even if the store has to contact the 
manufacturer's library of formulas.

that 64 Meadow Green is the right choice, as found on Corvair Decade book.
It is the same color as the GB with the Eurovan AC conversion, seen on past
year's GWFBT. Is there a code number to make this color or 64 Chevy code
905 would be good enough to get the paint ?
