what is the formula for 1966 RR1 Daffodil Yellow?

[sam dupont]

If I see the ingredient mix and think I might be able to do it, I'll see if I can mix it using implement enamel.

 

[Dave6T4]

My R/T is that colour. Tomorrow I will see if I have a paint can with the mix formula on it.

that's a pale yellow...... some white into yellow will go in the right direction

 

[sam dupont]

Yes, I guessing 90 some percent yellow, then so much white, but they sometimes throw in little bits of other colors too. As I was writing, the painter on GYC just said there are 8 different blues in B5.

With the name Dupont, I figure you should be the paint formula expert here.

Quart of yellow and 1/2 pints of the other colors. Probably a splash of blue and a little red.

PPG made it and won't tell me anything.

yellow, blue, and red make brown......... be careful

 

[sam dupont]

I see Envirobase says their black is a "blue/black", so there is some blue in the formula

yellow, blue, and red make brown......... be careful

Oh yeah, I paint watercolors and get good results using complimentary colors, but only in very small amounts. Like you say, they turn colors to mud quickly. When I find a label with percentages, I'm guessing they will be minute quantities.

Google is nothing but sales advertising no matter what words I use for a search

How about some pictures. How close is it to Y2 Sunfire?

 

[Dave6T4]

Paler. Sunfire Yellow looks like it has some green in it. My Daffodil Yellow R/T and Sunfire Yellow RoadRunner. Pictures taken on same day at same show.
