Help matching a color!

[justin2020]

Can anyone please tell me what would be the closest color to Fords Tahoe Turquoise. I am building a 64 Mustang Convertible for a coworker in exchange for some Colts tickets. Any help would be great.

Thank you

I would try Dupli Color paints..go to Autozone or a local parts store, tell them you want to match the paint on a '64 Mustang...they have colors that are close.

Testors' Model Master 'metallic turquoise' might be a close match

(the photo came out a bit dark, but you get the idea)

I also used it on the 'swamp cooler' on my ratty '56 Beetle:

I haven't checked on that color but Model Car World does custom mixed factory colors for many cars. This would be for airbrush use. You might be needing rattlecans.

If you are going to use an airbrush, I can get that color for $12.50 a 2oz. bottle.

The color is Ford paint code U PPG#12745 DuPont# 4876.

If you need it in a spray can, any good paint shop should be able to mix the color no problem.

I hope this helps,

Jameston

Thank you for all of the advice. I will stop by a paint shop and see what I can come up with. I will keep you all up to date on this.

Thank you

I got a very close match to Tahoe Turquoise using the following formula and Testors enamel paints:

Tahoe Turquoise Poly – (1968) 25% French Blue and 75% Pontiac Engine Blue, additionally, add a few drops of Turquoise. (This color is actually closer to a blue than a turquoise)
