1964.5 Indy Pace Car Restoration - Paint Questions

dbnyberg said:

I am ready to order the paint and have a few questions that I would appreciate feedback on.

1. I need the Ford Color ID for the Pace Car White. Not the color code (C) info, the actual code to order the paint.

Pace Car White is PPG code DDL 8321. It is not a special color made just for the PC coupes; it's from the Ford truck line where it was known as Frost White.

2. I assume that the paint scheme is white with 1 coat of clear coat. Is that correct?

As stated above, single stage paint was the only process at the time, but I'd be ok with base/clear.

3. What is the paint code for the baby blue (V8 260) paint?

PPG code 11297

4. I am not sure what the undercarriage is supposed to have on it. Any guidance, and perhaps paint code? Also, where does that paint start/stop on the car?

Pics would be great also, Thanks!
