Anniversary Gold

[P O'Lara]

Hi Guys, I'm in Ireland where I'm restoring a right-hand drive '64 Polara sedan. After 3 years it's ready for paint but I really need the mix formula for Anniversary Gold. I didn't save a sample as I was originally going to paint it a deeper gold with more 'flake.

Can anyone help with this ?

Thanks for joining the forum.
I'm half Irish...but not a gambling man (too much) but I'll go out on a Limb and bet your our only member from the "Emerald Island" so far!

Hang on for that mix...I know where to find it,

1964 Dodge Polara Anniversary Gold:

Paint code: Z
Ditzler: 81416
Dupont: 4520L, 4520, 181-96963


This is what the site listed:
G B Y 1964 Dodge Dodge Anniversary Gold Z C 81416 4520L, 4520, 181-96963 9309 A1678 880 only
G B Y 1964 Dodge Dodge Anniversary Gold Z C 81404 4519L, 4519, 181-96962 A1677 not 880

This is more info:

Hey super-bee-ski, I replied to you in the newbie intro section but just in case, here's the latest;

The info you supplied was of limited use as we don't have DuPont and the other brands mentioned, my bodyman has been using a brand called Standox for decades and wouldn't change as he'd have to change thinners and primers.
However when I forwarded your post it sparked him into contacting an old-timer working at Standox in England who
located the mix code for Anniversary Gold, I saw a sample yesterday and it's spot-on. My car should see paint in the next few days, when it does I'll post pics. The ONLY all-American car show in Ireland is on April 26th at Kilbeggan,
County Meath and I'm hoping to have it ready for then.
Thanks for your help from P O'Lara
