HELP with a PPG 60080 problem

I have a dilema. My local PPG auto paint store no longer has a mixing formula for PPG 60080. They say they will mix a gallon of 60080 if I can furnish a detailed mixing formula.

Ken tell them to call another dealer and grt codes, if this helps ,my PPG dealer is action auto parts, Willmar Mn. 320-235-2468, i looked on my cans and there arent any codes, other than MTK 60080.

I would think all they have to do is pick up the phone and call PPG. PPG from what I understand from my bodyman that paints my stuff, has everything on computer which includes blending and color matching exsisting paints for collision work. Sounds like somebody there doesn't want to be bothered to do that for ya Ken. That stinks!

Some of those guys at the paint store or parts store have there head so far up there butt they don't know if there coming or going. I can not say enough about a good parts guy. I tried to buy gasket paper last week. I did research online find which store carry the brand paper I wanted and went there so they could order it. The kid behind the counter gave me a blank look. I called the vender put him on the phone with her. She explained to him they sold their product and he could sell it. So I got my gasket paper. I have no idea how some of them keep their doors open.

Latest update on matching PPG OMNI AE to paint code 60080. I talked to the expert in my family and #4 Son Chad suggested pealing the paper label off the can and see if when PPG mixed 60080 they stuck a formula mixing sticker to the can under the label. He told me any good PPG or Dupont paint supplyer does this hidden sticker to protect a formula from getting paint or other junk on it making it unreadable. Sure enough there was a pristeen formula sticker stuck to the can under the paper label.

The paint shop I deal with on a regular bases would have been able to make a match from a small sample of paint .I had a gallon of  paint from the late 50s given to me that was stored in a cool place ,on the label it said allis chalmers   dupont.I took it to the paint stopre that I have done business with for yrs going way back to when I painted cars,and the young man took 2 trys at it and came up with the best persion oranger ! mix I have ever seen .I brought the sample home and took it to the inside of the old 60 combine and it was a dead on match ,then I went to the ca and pulled the shifter knob off it was perfect.So now when I call him up I just ask for him to mix me up some of my paint and he has it right under my name. So a good paint dealer with good workers will match paint up if they are any good ,But I ran into that with a monroe shoch dealer looking for a shock for a monroe seat.He told me me I don t know there might be something out on the shelf but he didn t know ,then he sat back down on his big fat butt and started looking at the paper.After blowing my stack loud enough that the arbys next door could hear me I went to NAPA he orderd me one ane I had it the next morning .People behind the counter make a big difference    

Ken - That's what the PPG dealer told me when they mixed it up and he may have used "doubling" as an expression of what he was doing.  It very well may not have been an exact description of what he did to each color component.  I don't remember what color the base was either.  I do have the original cans at the farm and will look this weekend when I go to see if the label can tell me anything.  Mike

Good deal Ken... I could not find the code on my can. I will print this off and keep it in a safe place........

Maybe someone who has an older can of PO2 could check Mike's formula to see what the hidden formula says.......good info - I have saved both formulae.
