I am going to paint my current project Carmine Red.

Can anyone help with where I can find a color chip, and/or a color code?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The Ditzler paint code for carmine red is in the encyclopedia under paint formulas.

From the link below - suggested reading
Bill, this is from Bruce's Encyclopedia.

Bill: I found this in a post from last year. http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/sho ... st=1129180

Here is a chip image with an AVERY Paint #, sorry I don't know much about paint. https://flickr.com/photos/wrapform/7735 ... otostream/

And I found this more modern reference to Carmine Red, paint code 80F, which may be a car makers paint code.

Good luck with your project, pls post some pics along the way, jb

A real close color to my Tudor is a 69 Ford color, it was on my Mach one years ago, not quite as brown cast but better color to me, take a look!

It looks light blue to me, Joe.

Steve, the one on my page is a 65, my wifes favorite.

On FB?

Bill I have a modern paint number in DuPont, PPG, and Nason. Will post when I get home.

Bill,

Here are some modern paint codes which I found for mine years back.



Hope this Helps,

These paints and codes were posted in past Forum answers. May help too if after an enamel paint.

Does someone have a a good source for the Carmine Red enamel used for the chassis on the 1909 Fords?


1.Have brought at my local DuPont auto paint store. Carmine Red code number 7410AH DuPont is now Axalta.

2. Another excellent product is Nason Ful-Thane, which is a single stage urethane paint. The color is "Red" and the paint code is CG2911B.
