Factory pack lacquer

[GeorgeLyons]

Really nice paint touch-up displays. I am looking for pints and quarts. GM positively used all of the 3 listed suppliers for paint. From the days I worked in the shop doing a lot of collision repair on late sixties, thru the seventies cars, we always felt R-M Factory Pack Lacquer was the best match, our first call when we ordered paint. Seldom did the local jobber not have EVERY color we ever needed in both pts and qts in stock ready to deliver. Exception would be Cadillac Firemist colors and Corvette exclusive colors sometimes had to be ordered in from the company. We sometimes didn't even call for the paint til after work was in process. Overall repaints were store mixed because a gallon saved about $10.00 over buying 4 factory pack quarts and no panel match was required. Here's a little sidenote.....I used an unopened pint of Ditzler Factory Pack '70 Chev/Pont code 43 Citrus Green last year to get the color conversion correct for base/clear on my restored '70 Z/28. After an hour on the shaker it was a dead on match to the non-faded cowl and trunk underside of my car.

WOW! You got lucky on that one. I had the local paint shop mix up some code 26 for my 71 Nova in bc/cc and it was a dead match without having something there to match it to. I do like that Citrus green.

I have a jobber in north carolina that i bought my laquer paint from. He has a mixing service & factory packs in at least quarts that i know of .I bought 2 1971 factory pack quarts code 43 / Lime mist met.just to have around for my original paint car & it was a total of 370.00.I then bought what he said would be his last mixable gallon of DDL3291 Dk. Grey with suede additive for my Z wheels & paid 475.00.It has been at least a year since my purchases, I don't think he would be thrilled to give his paint away cheap ,but i'll give you his # anyway.
