My painter uses ppg paint and cannot get a paint mix formula for Nepal orange.

Can anyone here help with a formula?

Thanks

Bill, I have the same color and I found a place in Dallas that could provide it.
I can't find the details so I'll stop by the next time I'm in that area and get it again.

A lot of times the 914 codes have to be looked up as a VW. I also have better luck getting 914 colors in Shopline. For some reason they tend to have direct formulas in Shopline but not in Deltron, despite both being PPG paints blink.gif

Thanks everyone. That helped. Found it I think. Here's what I picked up. Original color is Signal Orange but I wanted a slightly different orange and not as dark as Tangerine. We're painting the 2 hoods to see how it looks. U if you notice all the orange cars here are washed out color when viewed online.
