A search challenge for AG members.
Hello all,
I am trying to find out if the color Channel green or Monterey green for a 1950 Plymouth Suburban is actually single stage white that's tinted one of these two shades of green. It appears the car has been repainted, but it's been painted to match the original single stage color.
Channel Green was available in 1950 but the Monterey Green looks a little closer to the color although that shade was introduced in 1953.
This paint is extremely hard so I'm thinking it's SS white with tint, but I'd like to make sure.
First one to provide a solid answer gets my eternal admiration.

Re: A search challenge for AG members.
I'd contact a local auto paint 'store' and ask them. They would/should have the 'recipe', or at least know where to get it from.
Good luck...

Re: A search challenge for AG members.
Many "paint colors" come from the mixing
of the colors found on RYB Color Wheel(s).
Note:
Because there can be so many color
combinations derived from these wheels...
They are also given, among other denotations,
"Hex Color Codes".
Examples:
_____________________________________________
Chrysler Channel Green is listed as:

IMO...and as was suggested above:
An auto-paint store should be able to mix
up a color-matching paint.
If all else fails:
Take them a representative paint chip
so they can use their "scanner".

Re: A search challenge for AG members.
My reason for wanting to know more about the paint is because it's unusually hard on this car. In one of Mike P. articles, it discussed how soft single stage paint is, however the white paint can be very hard due to the mix of titanium dioxide. I'm wondering if that's why these swirls won't budge when I used least aggressive and then worked down to an orange hybrid on my Flex with M101. Completely puzzled.
But since others have said it doesn't look original then maybe none of that info helps. Whoever sprayed it again could have chosen whatever single stage paint at the time best represented the original color.
I'm getting tired of mystery paint.

Where do you keep coming up with the notion
that Chrysler's Channel Green contained any
white/titanium "color-ations" in its recipe?
I sure didn't see any "white" colors listed in
any of the Channel Green recipes that I posted.

This is the whole essence of my question. The paint shouldn't be as hard as it is. I'm trying to find out why it reacts like it does. It's going against everything that I've read about single stage paint.

that I've read about single stage paint.
•Reading (lab work) will provide, in general,
vehicles' paint-systems' correction information;
•Hands-on (real-world) will provide
paint-specific information for an
individual vehicle's paint-correction.
IMO...
•Since every vehicle's paint system
is unique to that particular vehicle:
-You probably need to change-up your
current processes, products, tools, etc...
in order to deal with what you're describing
as an extraordinary SS paint-system anomoly.
