Would anyone know what a paint code for the color of the dark gray dip primer that the St. Louis plant would have used? Trying to match the color and the paint supply shop said that the only primer colors out now is light gray, white, and black. He did say that they could tint the light gray with some black but I would need to pick out the color from the paint book. Was hoping someone on here would have that code handy.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

you might be better cutting a section of a floor pan in a wrecking yard, I don't think they have colour codes for your old primers.... Spies Hecker have a full line of tinted primers you can mix and match to any colour you like, or they have formulas for a large collection of different greys that might match well.

I saw that Rick has it and if I needed a ton of it, I would have jumped on that in a heart beat. However, our car is a factory undercoated car and we have minimal areas where we need to reapply or freshen up the dark gray primer. My local auto paint supply place can mix it up for me in a small amounts like a quart or a pint. I already have activated and the reducer from other paint projects that I can use so I just need the actual primer.

You could buy one quart of each PPG DP epoxy primer in gray and black, and mix it up yourself.
Mix it in a separate container, add black in very small amounts to the gray until it's as dark as you need it.
