1963 Cadillac Benton Blue paint
Hello,
Has anybody got a decent cross reference for Benton Blue to a newer GM or other number? I've tried all the paintref cross references and come up empty handed at my supplier. I did a colour match with the scanner and sprayed a few tests out, but I'm not totally pleased on the colour match.
I'll take whatever suggestions anybody has Much appreciated,
Chris
1963 Fleetwood

It took my “old school” painter about 3 tries to get the Sierra Gold just right on my 64. We had it scanned and worked from there but still took several tweaks. If memory serves, a touch of green did the final trick. Who wudda thunk?

Thank You for the advice! Worked with a great supplier in North Bay, Ontario who worked on it for about an hour. I'm pleased with the match. Ended up with a colour called Misty Lake Metallic. WA683R.
Many spray outs in the garage and I'm satisfied that its going to look great (and stock).

when I was at a PPG distributor I found my paint color.
I looked it up by name and by paint code number.
Palomino gold or paint code #47 is what i believe it was.

I found the formula in PPG basecoat clear coat.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
