Movin On

[docf225]

Ok Once more unto the breach. My third attempt at getting Sonny Pruitts greea beauty right.

I was able to score another Movin On kit on the 'bay for ridiculous money (<40 bucks) so I'm gonna try it again.

Coming from a family of Truckers (both Uncles on Mom's side were Independents and later owned LTL companies dad's brother drove for a number of manufacturers and materials companies), Movin' On was one of my all time favorite shows right up there with Baa Baa Black Sheep.

I know that KW built two special rigs for the show under the VIT program. That program added a larger bunk and some other mechanicals. I can get most fo the broad strokes right. Unfortunately, the only references I can get my grubby paws on are grainy screen captures from third generation VHS tapes.

I pretty sure the green was either a fine Flake or a Pearl. I was wondering if anybody has the PPG codes for that Green or if there is a reasonable match in either the off the shelf model paint lines or through the H-O-K line.

Thanks,

Doc

doc;

if you get a paint chip from newburgh auto on north broadway, i'll see what i can do about getting a touch up bottle made of the color at ARF supply in pough. 2 oz touch up tube(smallest they can make)(ford tubes are 1/2 - 1 oz and were more then I was paying at ARF years ago) is usually 11.00, and its accepted manufacture paint for all the local body shops.

I had a contact in newburgh that was doing H O K colors but couldn't do as small as a 2oz touch up bottle.... i just add thinner lets say 50-75% more for ease of flow, and can shoot from airbrush at 12-15 psi hope this helps, i usually use 3oz paasche bottle and total is lil more then an 1.5oz in bottle and sprays well to this point

Here is what I could come up with using the information from the promo flier on Tims' site and my access to the Dupont computer.

Ivy Bronze: The 4334b number is no longer used. A search with Dupont returned a paint code 5331, if you cross reference this with the PPG computer you get code 2360 "green fire poly" a Ford color from 1972/73. (OEM paint code 4D)

White: is numbered on the flier as a lacquer, and using just the Dupont 21667 number I found PPG code 2185 a generic white color.

Lime: Dupont shows two codes, 5181 is Dodge Sublime green, (not the color on the truck) and code 5504, PPG code 2674 lime Green, a Chevrolet truck color from 1974. (OEM paint code 517)

All these colors can be mixed at any good automotive paint shop.

Parchment & Green Splendor are interior colors? I couldn't find any paint info on them.

I hope this helps.
