Pre-A Paint Formula #510 - Radium Green

[Bruce Grant]

My paint guys cant find a modern mix formula for Radium Green # 510. Can anyone help? I have seen multiple pictures and cars at events with this color and all look different. I have been able to sand down a few layers (including the dash) to expose the original color, so if no paint company has built up the codes I can always have it color-matched, but that can be risky as well. Is there a specialty provider or some other guidance this group can provide?

Thanks for all the help on my previous post re the scripts! Pics attached.

It will get you what you need, as John mentioned above.

The R510 Radium green formula from Glasurit is for their water-based 90 Line paint. Do a spray-out and make sure it matches your original paint samples. Be particularly careful that the metallic flake matches. I see this Glasurit formulation uses two metallic flake components:

M99/02 (Fine aluminum flake)
M99/00 (Super fine aluminum flake)

I would suspect that this formulation is going to look a bit too modern with larger metallic flake. I suspect that you'd want to use all super fine flake. But again, comparing to original paint is important.

Remember, the formulation that Gasurit has on their site is just somebody's match. It is not official. You'll notice some pre-A colors have several possible formulations from matches made by different shops using Glasurit paint. A good place to start.

Originally, Radium green paint was supplied to Reutter by Lechler.
