The numbers on the paint chip chart may help?

Thanks for the links Alaskan_TA, but I have the numbers already. Talked a guy yesterday who sells PPG and DuPont stuff but no help. So Farmboy70, I appreciate if you can post recipe again.

This color is not mixed in a modern base coat clear so I have the acrylic enamel formula. Do a spray out panel and have it read at a PPG jobber for a modern system.
PPG 2314 This is a pint formula:
MIX            COLOR                    PART AMOUNT

 DMR 431      FINE ALUMINUM                   84.9
DMR490        STR BLACK                  24.0
DMR411        BLUE                  12.0
DMR410         BLUE                 6.0
DMR401       WHITE                   4.0
DMR499        CLEAR                  370.2
DXR495        CATALYST                   10.0

THANK YOU !!!!!

Good luck getting the hue correct, I hear (via Roger Gibson) GA4 is the hardest color to mix.

I can say from my Challenger being painted GA4 that it is the hardest color to mix and the hardest color to match. At car shows all the GA4 painted mopar cars look to be a little different shade of this color.

Unfortunately all colors, as they are reformulated over the years will make it harder to get a good color match.As technology changes the paint companys reformulate mixing formulas when they drop a toner or change for environmental reasons. So when a color is not mixed in a modern system I look for the OLDEST reformulation date to get something to do the spray out panel for a reading. It is the best way  to get to a accurate match. If you have a original paint section(under windshield area) to match the sample is best.If the spray out doesn't look right then it's time to go to hand tinting.The spray out is not perfect but is a starting point. You can get there with the help of a mixing station and some time.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread.  There just isn't a lot of info I can find regarding A4.  Anyway, I spoke with someone today that said they could mix the color for me.  Their formula is different than yours.  The formula they gave me for a pint, and is as follows....

PPG BRAND CODE 2314    MAIN LAYER 2314      MAKES 1 US PINT

SKU        DESC.             INC.(PART)        CUM.(PART)
M135       FINE ALUM         197.0             197.0
MX195      ACCELERATR        9.6               206.6
M117       JET BLACK         47.5              254.1
M121       BLUE              22.3              276.4
M122       BLUE              7.8               284.2
M120       WHITE             7.5               291.7
M149       CLEAR             225.0             516.7

  My question is, will their formula work, or should I request specifically yours?  I'm not trying to match anything, just doing a complete color change on my car.  I just want it to look right. And I tend to trust my fellow Mopar Maniacs here than your average joe.
Thanks!
