Paint Formula Needed

I'd like to obtain a formula for color; Texas Tan for my 50 Commodore. My paint store guy ran the numbers on Ditzler color chart and came to a number of dead ends. I'd rather not have him mix paint by a chip and hope it's close. I'd like it match more than just close. If anyone can come up with something in the Serwin-Williams product line it would be much easier to mix. Ideally Base/clear.

Thanks in advance,

Kim

    I do not have the Sherwin Williams color formula but here are the Sherwin Williams numbers if that would help.

    1951 Texas Tan: Color Symbol H27; Opex 33254; Kem 43918

    Opex is the lacquer and I think Kem is the enamel

    contact Hibernia Restorations in New Joisey - they have/had all the original Hudson forumulas from the late '20s on.

    They can/used to also provide the paint in nitroceluous lacquer, which late Hudsons were painted with as well as your paint match in modern paints.

    You can also have your Paint Shooter order it from PPG.

    I'm striking out on the paint numbers given. Went to website given and I can't seem to pull a number I can take to paint store. I know they're not in business to hand out paint info, so I'm at a stopping point. I don't want to use lacquer. Thanks for all your input.

    When I got a small pint from PPG for my Pacemaker, I called the main PPG Customer Service number I found on their web page. i told them I had a 1950 Hudson Pacemake and gave them the code from the front passenger door post.



    They hooked me up. It was modern paint so it is not a 100% match, but it got the job done I needed for the short term (until I can affors to have it stripped, dripped, leaded and re-painted).
