Default Can Anybody help me? Need Dupont Lacquer Mille Miglia paint formula

I have the mix# (5291), but dont have the specific formula for the lacquer mix. Apparently since they've discontinued the lacquer paint, the formula is not made available by Dupont any longer.. does anybody have the actual formula the paint shop would use to mix?

thanks one more time,
Timbo2 :confused:

Hi

DuPont paint code for Mille Miglia Red
in 1971 was 973
in 72 was (76)973,
in 73 it was (76)976
in 74 it was (76) 976
in 75 it was 76

Checked in http://www.Lesonal.de
and http://www.qnetonline.nl for the mixing recept and your right, no more formulare available for this colour ??

Sorry. Gunther

I can get you the formula but I'm curious what good it will do you since lacquer is discontinued. I'll try to get it tomorrow. Craig

5291LM was the Millie Miglia code for '74/'75, previous to those years it was just 5291L :yesnod:

i have a guy that has enough tint/binders, etc. that he thinks he can mix it if he has the recipe... I just need enough to paint a door and a couple spots where the paint is bad. I'm trying to delay the expense of stripping and repainting the entire car with basecoat clearcoat.

Timbo, Here's your formula. It is for a gallon and is cummulative.

5291L
441L Violet 109
436L Red Orange 454.5
432L Bright Red 1406.5
465 L Binder 3273.5
485L Balancer 3617.5

Good Luck, Craig

IM or email lbell101 for help on paint. He runs a Valspar paint shop and probably has access to what you need.
