    Posted: 18 Jan. 2021 at 12:41am
I am trying to determine the correct Autumn yellow rim color for my 46 Pasture green 2A. I have researched past posts and there appears to be differing views as to the correct yellow. I have an original 1947 Ditzler/PPG color chart which shows a color on the orange side but have seen others that have said that a more yellow shade is correct. That second color I have not been able to find a color chip for but I believe is sold by Beachwood. The rims on my 2A had been previously media blasted and no original paint remains. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 46 had the Autumn Yellow wheels, and looked more orange. I'll be following this thread. The local paint guy has books that have a color square with a hole in the middle, so you can compare, I just have not taken any parts to him yet.

Thanks bight for the reply, However I have a 74 yr old original copy of the image on auto color library. In reading the past posts I get the impression that some feel that the Autumn yellow color on that Ditzler chart is incorrect making me apprehensive in matching and purchasing perhaps the wrong color. 
So I'm hoping to get some guidance from the members.

as a longtime graphic artist and former color calibrator, the input that has been provided regarding not trusting ANY online images, your monitor, etc. is absolutely correct.

i just was wondering if the autocolorlibrary provided numbers/codes/mix calibration to give some usable color matching info that could be translated somehow by a paint provider.

My local and long time auto paint supplier has told me that the paint codes on the chart are obsolete and no cross references are available. However I was told but it is unconfirmed that the color chips on an original chart are made from actual auto paint and are not images. I agree with not trusting any color images online or in photos as they do not reflect the actual color or shade.

TCP Global, the company that hosts that Auto Color Library, made  this version of Autumn Yellow in a Urethane.  

Whether this version matches the original Autumn Yellow, I can't say, but it is exactly what I expected it to be.  

I know this doesn't answer your question.  Just showing you options.

I did some snooping around on the TCP Global website.  They have quite a section with intuitive videos on AirBrushing.

and another product i liked is their Adhesion Enhancer:


Maybe no more metal etching required now on hard to reach areas, aluminum and galvanized surfaces

I liked the look of those freshly painted wheels.  Glad i didn't have to do the paint prep.

The inside of my wheels had the original autumn yellow and the closest match I came up with is: PPG DelFleet Essentials ESSS solid yellow 802050.

I like this version of autumn yellow. Any chance you might post a formula for it, if you have it. Like to have it mixed locally.

Thx

interesting, harvest tan came with sunset red wheels, and yours look more like sunset red than autumn yellow....

I used TCP Global to order Picket Gray and Harvard Red. Happy with the customer service and the paint colors. Be worth talking to.
