Can anyone recommend a good paint supplier who formulates date correct mixes for classics? I want to repaint my 68 Mustang candy red and want the correct colour not a 'near as dammit' colour. Cheers guys.

I have used LE went in new Malden a few times in the past. If there still in business they have lots of classic paint codes.
Or try searching standox paints supply's they are very good at finding codes.

CCS in Romford is very good, they also have a scanner there and recently found an exact match for our 66 Valiant

Candy red is not a colour you can buy and just paint. There are so many other things involved, to get the colour you want is more down to the sprayers skill than the shade of paint you buy.

Thanks guys. The Ford candy red of the time is actually non-metallic and has a clearcoat over it. I'll check out your suggestions...:tup:

L E Went are still in business. They are about a mile from me. Ya could also try Metalflake - Welcome To Metalflake in Chessington. I got all my paint from them a couple of months ago. Very extensive range of over 6000 products. Hope this helps, Rog.
