Default Ash Gold Paint Formula

Would anyone have the paint mixing formula for 1968 Ash Gold? My painters have tried every combination in the computer and nothing matches. We even took a fender to English Color and had them shoot it with a camera and it doesn't match.

Thanks

Have you tried cross referencing it with any of the original 1968 formulas?
<u>Code G Ash Gold</u>:
Lucite #4896-L
RM #A-1988
Ditzler #22942
I don't know the current recipe,but someone on here might..

We have used the above numbers. However for some reason the tint formula is not in the system my body shop has.

Is this Ash Gold?

Roger Sutton's DH 427 Chevelle, caught at the Fred Gibb Show in '08. Ray Morrison may have contact info for Roger.
