63' Rose Mist Paint Formula

I have been to this page and find the formula somewhat "incomplete"....Unfortunately when advised to add "a little" of this and "a little" of that tint I am not confident I know what that means. I've been to shows where 3 cars of the same color, same year, look nothing alike.......I was hoping Ray or someone had refined that formula before I have the painter mix it...

Don't know, but that's the website Ray maintains. I know Ray's away from his house (and possibly internet access) but may be back Sunday.

Ever seen '57 GoldenHawks repainted gold... you can line up 10 and have 10 different shades of gold.

Try getting together with a good PPG guy and have him look up

I dont know if this will be of any use or not, but in '77 when I painted my Rose Mist Lark, they didnt have the kind of paint mixture I wanted in the '63 paint color. I looked at the books and found that Ford used a color that matched paint chip to paint chip and called it Rose Mist Metallic. They used it mostly on the 77 T-birds. Just a hint of very fine metallic, but otherwise a perfect match....or at least on the paint chips. I never put it next to a '63 color painted car.

Some day, my R2 Lark will go back to its original Rose Mist. I was told once it was one of two built with that color. But then, it did go out to California when it was built :)
