There is no known authentic modern color matches for 26-27 proxilyn, go with your best guess or what you like as nobody can prove you wrong.

Re: Is This Maroon Color Paint….
I am looking for touch up paint and was hoping for a actual color name. This T was painted ten years ago by a previous owner so I do not know the type of paint yet….

Re: Is This Maroon Color Paint….
Look similar? This car was painted Windsor Maroon by the previous owner when he restored the car. Yku could also take.the hood to a good auto paint supplier who should be able to computer match it pretty close. I jist got.it does for my '11 Torpedo and its as close to spot-on as it gets.

Re: Is This Maroon Color Paint….
You can take a panel or the whole T to a professional paint dealer. They can computer match exactly.
Back in the day the right guy could eye match.

Names are irrelevant. One paint manufacturer's midnight blue is another's royal blue. One's Kelly green is another's Sherwood green. Take your sample to a paint shop and have them computer match it.
The inevitable often happens.

Re: Is This Maroon Color Paint….
Yep, seems I mentioned taking the hood to the paint shop for computer matching, despite a bevvy of typos!
