Cygnus White or shell ivory

[redleg76]

i have a ‘65 40 that I am painting. I did the bezel in the shell ivory formula found on mud. It looks good against the spring green, but I’m not sure I have seen a pic of a roof that wasn’t “white”. The color on the bezel has a yellow or cream hue to it. Does the top match this or were they “more white”?
It’s a ‘65 with corrugated top, want it to look “like it is supposed to”.

Thanks in advance,

If I remember correctly when I did my 65 FJ45, I used Cygnus white for the top and bezel. The first spray out was way too yellow/cream... After a little research I found that there is two different formulas for Cygnus White. The second one was a perfect match for the original. I used PPG single stage concept.

Hope this Helps

Unless your Shell ivory was mixed wrong, it should be the right color. No 40 series ever came from the da Tory with a stark white roof. They were always a cream color.

Some research I have been doing. If I could find a reference to Land Cruiser, I labeled it LAN. I have one reference only that says Lilly White is a roof color but there are two Lilly whites.
