Paint code

Post by svantemann »

Does anyone know a " modern" paint code for Platinum Grey ???

I have the ICI code which is 0123, but all car paint shops says that ICI codes went out here in Denmark more than 20 years ago - so does anyone know a modern paint code ???

Looks like it's a bit hard to find :evil: . I had trouble finding the right colour/formula for my lowlight.
First I painted it Steel Grey from a VW, now it's Sierra Beige from a mid '60s Morris :-? . Pretty close to the original colour, but not quite right.

Since then I've come across a Dulux Australia catalogue from 1974.
It lists Platinum Grey as #5679.
I haven't tried to get the formula for the colour but hopefully this bit of info will help you.

By the way, Dulux became ICI & is now PPG (here anyway).
I've had success with other Minor colours through Spies Hecker, maybe worth a try.
