Does anyone know of the "correct" paint code/type of paint for Vineyard Green?
And where to get in lovely California?
CSX2367 was repainted to Highlander Green, a Lincoln color, in 1964 to fulfill an order for a green Cobra from Gotham Ford. Highlander Green is available in most chemistries from the usual suppliers.cobra5.lowres.jpeg
Beautiful car! Hey Little Cobra...
The difficulty with "Vineyard Green" is the same as for "Bright Blue" which is that both were colors that were part of the AC Cars palette but had no corresponding color in the Ford paint catalog. When a paint repair was required for these colors, it generally required a custom-mixed paint to match it as closely as possible. I know that some folks have since found the appropriate codes for these colors and can obtain them from England, but an alternative is to find something close that is more readily available in the thought that no one will actually recognize any faint difference that may exist.
Not sure if any of these will help:

After much searching we found a connection with AC cars and got their "Old Formula" and here we are....
