Need Limelight Paint/Colour formula please
« on: October 03, 2005 - 07:29:13 PM »
G'day Guys,

I'm after as much info as possible regarding the paint or colour formula for Limelight so that I can ensure my painter gets it right (this wasn't released as a Chrysler colour here in Australia).  I have seen an Australian Charger at a local show painted in what the owner called limelight and it was very light and not at all like pictures/interior panels on my Barracuda, hence my concern for local painters having access to the right formula.  One option I have is to cut out a section for colour matching (the rear deck still has very good quality original paint on it) but obviously the right code will be helpful.  The car is going to be chemically stripped (electrolytic alkaline immersion - I'll let you all know how it goes) so all reference to the original colour will be gone.

Cheers, Mark.

Limelight/Sublime is 1970 Chrysler F5 Ditzer code 2128.  You most likely have to ask for it as I typed it as most paint shops will never be able to find FJ5.

Thanks for that - is this info all they will need or is there also a colour formula for mixing?

The formula would be different depending upon the brand name and the type of paint within the brand name you plan on using.  I know for a fact that the formulas are available for PPG, DuPont and RM paint brands though not in all levels of products, ie. you may be able to get it in B/C but not S/S or the other way aroud depending upon the brand.

Paint shop managed to source a 70 J5 Sublime formula from an Australian supplier that apparently was a perfect match - thanks for the help!  Cheers, Mark.
