My earlier response was information from the Pikovnik book which was
copywrited in 1998 and published in 1999. I am not an expert in paint but
would the formula change from year to year? I am very familiar with PMS
coding for standard printing colors and paints used for signs and do know
that the same PMS numbers were used and given to a veritible plethora of
sign makers for my company's logos, signs, etc. in the 30 or so years that I
was involved in standardization.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Paint Code Colors
I'm not sure the original BMC ICI codes are useful anymore for mixing modern
paints. Here is some information I have collected concerning paint
formulas. The specific formulas are unique to a given brand of paint, as I
understand.

>From Rich Chrysler, for Healey Blue:
"This was originally a Sherwin Williams U7-5214 basecoat formula that has
been changed to reflect metallic size and colour":
Silver 7006 (pint) 387.5 (quart) 775.0 (gallon) 3099.9
Black 7081 (pint) 395.2 (quart) 790.5 (gallon) 3161.9
Blue 7280 (pint) 410.7 (quart) 821.5 (gallon) 3285.9
White 7282 (pint) 423.5 (quart) 847.1 (gallon) 3388.2
Red 7284 (pint) 435.2 (quart) 870.3 (gallon) 3481.2
Green 7138 (pint) 446.7 (quart) 893.4 (gallon) 3573.6
Your painter should be able to interpret the numbers.
