Thanks! I did a search on FB and the codes I found were for the 1936 Ford. I need the codes/formula for the 1930 Ford deluxe roadster (if there is a difference)? Thanks for all the help.

Understand that the only way to get an exact match to the rest of your paint is to take the car to a pro paint store or high end body shop to do a color match. Anything less will be close, but maybe close enough.

Thanks! I agree, I'm looking for something that will be just close. After all, it's only a door latch. This car will not be a fine point car at this point on it's resto. journey, it's my daily driver.

Car dealerships usually have a paint touch up man visit every week. The guy that comes to us has a small trailer with a paint mix system, compressor etc. they can mix a small jar of any color if your car or a part was there to match.

Did you try the vendors? Get to a PPG dealer! Or were you looking for a freebie ? Wayne

Yes, and I've learned that Washington Blue seems to never be the same, it is an inconsistent color for some reason. Can't just buy some off the shelf best have it scanned on your car.
