Title: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Ed on October 22, 2009, 10:35:32 AM Hello,
I'm after a good original match for teal blue over breton blue. (dark over light blue). the colour sample I've got was re-sprayed with a poor match and is now faded out so I'm afraid to get it matched using an incorrect colour. Do paint shops still have the formulas? Cheers Ed Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: zulu on October 22, 2009, 02:56:59 PM Ed, I had no trouble getting Teal Blue made up, apparently aside from being a Holden colour it is or was also a "fleet colour"
Not sure about the other 1 Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Ed on October 22, 2009, 03:04:03 PM Thanks Gary,
sounds like most of the colours should be on file then. easy enough, will just visit the paint shop with the codes. Cheers Ed Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Holden2009 on October 22, 2009, 04:20:00 PM Hey Ed,
drop these guys an email: info@vgautopaints.com.au ---- http://www.vgautopaints.com.au/ I recently enquired via email about early holden paint codes. They were pretty quick in responding, and said that they had the codes that I was looking for, no dramas. Cheers, JD.

You read my mind. I used VG 2K on the ute and was happy with it. Cheers Ed Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Ed on October 22, 2009, 04:55:54 PM oops not VG brand, it's actually "Concept"
Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: FC427 on October 22, 2009, 05:29:00 PM Ed try another brand might cost a little more than Concept, but once you start spraying you will understand ;D ;D......FC427......

Will go back to PPG in that case. Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: FC427 on October 23, 2009, 08:46:14 AM Ed PPG nice choice .....FC427.....
Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Ed on October 23, 2009, 08:55:40 AM I normally paint all my stuff in PPG.. bit more $$ but very nice to use.
Tried Concept 2K on the ute and was pleasantly surprised, but because I mixed paint systems found hold out wasn't brilliant. Still it was done to a price. I'll go back to PPG, I know it and like it. Used to use the Dulon Acrylic and that was awesome, so hoping it's still the same. Cheers Ed Title: Re: teal over breton blue paint match Post by: Holden2009 on October 23, 2009, 11:45:58 AM Gday Ed,
I had a bit of downtime at work today .... so took some time out to some research on Acrylic prices: --------------------------------------------------------- "Concept" 4L Colour = $137 8L Colour = $257 4L Clear = $50 20L Thinner (Prem.) = $90 --------------------------------------------------------- "PPG / DULON" (group 1 paints) 4L Colour = $212 +GST 6L Colour = $318 +GST 4L Clear = $90 +GST 20L Thinner (Prem.) = $140 +GST --------------------------------------------------------- might be able to get them cheaper at Trade prices ... ???

We will be restoring to original next year so any formulas posted would be handy thanks Jeff.
