Emory Oates 356 paint color?
I believe i read somewhere that it's painted the graphite grey of the 50th anniv 911. Can someone suggest how to get this paint code as I would like to use it on an Austin Healey 3000 restoration. Thanks.

My experience with these sorts of shops is that they generally fend off loiterors and enthusiasts unless they demonstrate that they are buying a project
And I frankly can’t blame them because they make money by finishing projects not by entertaining people who will never invest in their work
So if anyone in this community can provide a code preferably in PPG or glasurit that I can start with that would be helpful

My point was that they aren’t in business to help some guy trying to paint an Austin Healey so I wouldnt expect any extra effort
i’m just looking for a paint code and figured an enthusiast forum would be a good start rather than cutting into someone’s workday

Willhoit sells spray-out cards of almost all 356 colors. I bet they would be happy to help. They don't need more business particularly- they are always very busy.

Willhoit picked up the phone and claims the owner just sprayed his own car in the very color I am chasing down
however they look quite different to me
i want the dark muddy grey appearance if the Oates car and the wilhoit car (while beautiful) appears to be brighter much like the actual Healey beige metallic gold color that I don’t want
or am I just not seeing it correctly? As a kid I colored my rivers purple and dogs red so I don’t exactly trust my eyes
want this
Not this

Glasurit lists it as Graphit Met 537 or 5403 if it's a 1954-55 color.
