Hey everyone - I'm trying to find the current mixing code for the body paint color Hampshire Green Poly. This would be for my '52 Cj3A.
I have found mixing codes for that color from Dupont and PPG on the internet but the paint supplier doesn't recognize the numbers. I was wondering if someone here may have painted their jeep that color and would have a current mixing code. Thanks.

willyt,
There are some paint code sheets on the 3B page covering 1952. Here's one covering Hampshire Green Metallic: Is this the code your supplier doesn't recognize?

Hey Rus
They have not given up on it yet. Still searching. The Duco/Dulux # is one of the codes they are searching for. Today I found another Dupont master number which consist of six different paints and their code number, but no quantity. Hopefully they can make some sense out of it. I hope that someone may have used this color recently and would have a current mix code. Thanks for the help. willyt

FWIW,
I was advised to use a certain paint expert to mix my paint. He was constantly tweaking the formula - more yellow, less white, etc. It never looked quite right. I went to another paint store, showed them the paint code and they were spot on the first time. Do you have more than one supplier that you can ask?

Here is the mixing code for Hampshire Green that was scanned from original paint on a 1952 CJ-3A. |
