L82 Silver White Paint Mix Code?

galexander · Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 1:15 pm Post subject: L82 Silver White Paint Mix Code?

I went to my local Dupont paint dealer Saturday and they had NO listing for L82 Silver White.

I was trying to get a quart mixed for my bumpers and wheels on my '63 SC in their NASON brand acrylic enamel single stage.

Anyone have the paint mix code in NASON/DuPont?
thanks

Well, There has got to be a mix code for L82 to spray the bumpers and wheels on my '63 SC, but I just cannot find it and DuPont has been no help.
Darn it. anyone have any ideas?

The PPG # is 8251 according to info on this site, maybe they can cross-match?

Well, I found it in Spies Heckler, single stage enamel...$84 a quart!
But that's good quality paint.
I'll try a local PPG dealer on that old Ditler/ppg number too.
thanks

Yes, 82 is the color code and Silver White is the color name.

Here's the mixture from the Glasurit formula book:

I don’t know about the ml comment.
I’d click once on that mix image... it will open up in a new browser window.
Copy the text in the address field & send the image address to paint shop.
They’ll click on the link & the image will open in a web browser window.

Thanks for the L 82 Silver white Nason formula
It worked out great

VintageVulture

L82 is the VW code for "Silberweiss" or silver white. It's not a metallic silver. It's the name of the white on bus bumpers for many many years. Velvet green is not velvet, its just a description. Dove Blue isn't made of bluebirds. Java Green doesn't contain any coffee. Some of the comments here have me fearing for the future of VWs.

I don't see anyone saying that it's metallic or that it's silver in color.

It seems like you are reading some comments from 2010 differently that how I'm reading them.
In any case that guy was sort of confused on the VW color Silver White being a shade of White.
