Anyone shoot it lately or have paint friends? I didnt think it would be hard but seems PPG doesn't make it anymore and they were the "go to" company
Thanks in advance!!
It would be K5 Ditzler, PPG 2135 deep burnt orange
Don't see why a Paint Supply Store couldn't mix it themselves unless a tint or binder not available which seems unlikely. I could see what they used to call a Factory Pak not available. I bet I could mix it at my shop??? LEON.
P.S. I got a old can of it in Lacquer if Interested?
Copy...yeah my last shoot was PPG Omni, actually held up well for over17 years. but theire not making it anymore appearently.
H-H...lol Lacquer no, I'm good, thanks!
Just got 2 gallons of 2135 at the local PPG dealer . Shopline brand..looks and sprays well...
PPG Omni got replaced by Shopline. both there low budget brand. Both of those are famous for bad color match & not holding up well if exposed to the weather. LEON.
Huh, maybe inside storage helped?

The only reason I had the Lacquer is because the guy I bought my Charger from had the carb catch on Fire & burnt some paint off the middle of the hood about the size of a baseball. Since I had the original dull paint I could not spot it with some new high gloss base coat clear coat & have a nice brite shiny spot in middle of hood. SO, Had to try to make it look original & not touched up, to do this I spotted in Lacquer & then cleared in Lacquer & did not sand & rub the clear to keep it dull. worked good. As for your FK5 Paint Code I looked it up on my computer at work & surprisingly it came up as unavailable. In the past I've seen older colors come up as unavailable only because the color never got added to the system I was using. I'm using SmartTrak. Pic below. LEON.
Thanks Sir!
Huh, interesting repair on the hood!!! I got paint, the supply store i used found it in 5 seconds, another reason I'm happy its home, ill bet it wouldn't have come out the right color!
