Help with Sportsman Red paint code for 53-55

[Keith T.]

I'm having trouble matching the Sportsman Red paint and came up with a thread in the forum from a while back. Realizing it is several years old, my question is, has anyone used the following PPG Concept formula for Sportsman Red? If so, are you satisfied with the match?

This is the PPG formula for single stage polyurethane:

DMC911 Bright Red 68.7 Cum.(part)
DMC987 Orange LF 124.5
DMC 903 Weak Black 131.7
DMC900 Str White 136.1

Again, has anyone tried this formula?

Thanks for your help!

Interior or exterior?

Actually, both. Now I'm doing the wheels, so that is the main interest. I didn't realize there might be two different shades for interior and exterior.

Keith,

Here is the formula that I recently used for Sportsman Red in PPG. The car was recently judged and obtain a Top Flight. Keep in mind that you will need to add a flattener, otherwise it will be too glossy out of the can.

Hope this helps,
Eric
