1963 Cadillac Benton Blue paint

[Chris Wielusiewicz]

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

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.
