Drake has or maybe had the correct colors in spray cans.

Drake had colors for the dash that well, were supposed to be for the dash. Correct? Laughable unless of course the formulas were changed. I recall the gold tone having a very distinctive pink to it. His maroon was fairly close - I'll give him that. I probably have current codes for the dash. PM me if you have not obtained them yet. I'll need your email. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Kubes40, I would like the correct paint codes too sir. When I had my car painted in 1976, the two colors I was given as correct were "Monaida Maroon" and "Copper Sand Metallic." I think Monaida Maroon was correct, but now I see "Rose Sand Metallic" as the correct second color. The restored '40 Deluxes I have seen all have a much greater metallic content in the Rose Sand color-I don't know what is correct.

Guys, sorry for being so tardy fulfilling this request. I am unable to get my scanner working at this time so bear with me... I'll type each code up in a separate post.

"GOLD" PAINT CODE: CHROMOBASE The Axalta (formally DuPont) formula code is: B8412K, Light Sandstone, Code #7789. If you go to a paint supplier that can mix this for you, the formula will come up in their system. NOTE (this is important) reduce the #814J, Coarse Aluminum by 50%. All of the other tints remain as specified in the formula. So, here's exactly what you want to mix (pint): #814J, coarse aluminum, 27.0 (this is the reduced amount) #802J, LS White, 77.3 #811J, Medium Aluminum, 86.6 #806J, HS Black, 95.4 #891J, Transox Red, 100.9 #858J, Deep Maroon, 103.1 #150K, B/C Balancer, 395.9 #175K, Binder, 433.7 "MAROON" PAINT CODE: CHOMOBASE The Axalta (formally DuPont) formula code is: 020173K. If you go to a paint supplier that can mix this for you, the formula will come up in their system. So, here's exactly what you want to mix (quart): #884J, LS Red Oxide, 87.3 #805J, Jet Black, 250.8 #864J, Magenta, 302.0 #886J, Opaque Red, 343.7 #829J, Light Blue, 368.4 #150K, B/C Balancer, 854.6 #175K, Binder, 874.6
