Duplicating the 1963 Sebring Silver color

[Justin W.]

I am restoring a 1963 SWC and am looking for the best possible match to its original Sebring Silver color. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The size of the silver leaf used in 1963 has not been available since 1964.

Loren, I tried to order some in 1986 through my Dupont dealer, he called the Dupont rep and was told no they didn't have the metal flake that was used in 63. Told me it was ground mother of pearl or something, and not produced anymore by them. Got a close 10 ft match, but no 'real deal' Sebring Silver'.
