For alabaster white owners
I bought paint today because I’m going to paint a few components this Friday.
Paint story
Two years ago I painted the front bumper cover with PPG as the supplier, alabaster white to match or so I thought.
I provided them with the Chrysler colour and they cross referenced it with their formula. Apparently all good. (my understanding is that PPG was the original paint manufacturer for our vehicles).
12 years of UV and a perfect match no more. Crap if you’re looking you can see that it’s not a fervent match and we all know that there are a million different shades of White
What to do
I removed the spoiler and took it to the paint supplier again PPG. Explained the situation. They pulled out the SunGun and scanned the wing.
They were able to get the match to a 2.
A score of 0 is perfect and they rarely see 2 or 3
They compared it to all Chrysler colours and to all MB colours and no match
The score of 2 matches Ford
North America diamond white.
I’ll let you know how it all goes on Saturday when I install the items
