Paint Code Help!
I placed an order in January from Automotive Touchup for Ford Code B (Caribbean Turquoise) and they sent the right color. It wasn't going to be enough so I ordered additional cans. They sent me the wrong color and now they're trying to tell me that Ford had 2 paint code B for 1965 - Caribbean Turquoise and Pagoda Green.
I need to know if this is true. Thanks!

I just get Caribbean Turquoise too - AutoColorLibrary - Color Chip Selection
Why would Ford do that and if they did, your company should specify before they ship it to you.

There was a Midnight Turquoise, Torino Turquoise, and Caribbean Turquoise for FORD using code B. The only code B for Ford Trucks was Caribbean Turquoise.
Their website is messed up.
They are sending me the correct paint at their cost but, I wanted to get this thing done. In the 30 minute discussion with them they told me that they custom mix Sherwin Williams acrylic urethane base coat and fill the aerosol cans. I went to the SW auto paint store 3 miles from my house and bought a quart of acrylic enamel (one step). Then I went to Home Depot and bought the best gravity feed gun they had ($100, actually pretty nice). I re-sanded the interior with a fine scotch brite pad, vacuumed it, tack clothed it, and sprayed on the enamel.
It turned out great. I'll post up some pictures later today.

Pagoda Green is a different shade of green than Caribbean Turquoise, you wanna know why I know this?
I owned a '64 Galaxie 500XL fastback painted Pagoda Green (horrid color, IMO)...which was only used on Passenger Cars.
Caribbean Turquoise: AE60-556-A = 3 ounce TUP (touch up paint) can w'brush.
FoMoCo is in-famous for using one code for a certain color on Passenger cars, the same code for a different color on trucks.
1966 FoMoCo Passenger Car/Truck color chip chart:
B ~ Trucks, Bronco's, Econolines: Caribbean Turquoise.
B ~ Thunderbird: Sundust Brown.
