Hi Guys,
time to paint is approaching..

my 68 Coronet R/T is going through rotisserie restoration. It was unmolested by humans vinyl top probably green as paint job and interiors, however I don't know the name of the original color:

options were:

GG-1 racing green poly
FF-1 light green poly
TT-1 medium green poly
66-1 dark green poly (spring color)

there's no mention about R/T colors in the restoration book: do you have any ideas?

which is the best supplier for paint? PPG? TPC?

thank you very much!

here's the car before..

1968 paint chip charts;

http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/paintChipCharts/1968PaintChipCharts-01.shtml

It looks like Medium Green to me.

It appears to be "T" - medium green metallic

lightest to darkest
F --- T --- 6 --- G

"G" was used for the upper door frame paint with the green bucket seat interior
"6" was the "new" for spring '68 color and became "EF8" for 1969

No fender tag??

yep, forgot to mention I got the codes from the paint chip chart

and of course the interiors are bucket seat green

Fender Tag is gone... I could make it GG so I don't have to buy different colors for the door frame? would it be correct?

I'd like a setup like this, I think GG is way too much dark

Are you sure? I recieve alot of compliments on GG1.With the white it would look great! Dark yes..after Dusk its looks Black

hhhhm, not sure about GG, I think I'll go Medium, but I can even change my mind, I wanted her painted B5 at a first glance

If you go with the T code color I have the right DuPont number for it I had to custom mix for a 68 GTX we just did. The mix DuPont says is right is way off. PM me if you need it.

My 68 R/T is also TT, Does anyone have a pic of this color fresh?

Gotta love a green Coronet, the archetypal Mopar.

I'll see what I can do this evening.

thanks for all the replies

I'll talk to my painter friend and see if we can get the correct paint.

Regards!

looks like the same as my charger, TT1:

68 GTX. The pictures are not that great but enough to get the idea.

One outside

well, I think I'll go with TT-1

PPG code 43647

but.. where to buy it?

I tried looking at tcp global but can't find it

thanks

Did you read this post from above?... It is actually a pretty common problen these days... they have changed paint formulations so many times the old numbers don't look anything like they should... If you want it right contact the man...

Yf it were mine with no FT I'd probably go with GG... Unfortunately I do have a FT so my Coronet R/T will be PP which if it's gotta be red is a decent red but I've never liked red...
