85-86 Dark Charcoal Trim Codes

I finally found someone who looks like they have the right formula
for the 85-86 Dark Charcoal trim!

A guy at FEP has a car being painted and the painter used to restore
Fox Mustangs and had a formula for getting the correct FINISH for
the paint. The 33717 paint code IS the right color but if mixed
like normal (in a base coat) it comes out WAY too FLAT. Then when
clear coated its WAY shiny. The following should mix a quart of
33717 single stage paint that should be SATIN!

Here's the formula for 33717 single stage. its based
on a quart can of mixed color. the manufacture is PPG.

code color parts

dmc902 black 226.6
dmc900 str. whi 215.8
dmc901 str. bla 137.5
dmc929 lt red 76.0
dmc904 blue 38.5
dx995 matt bas 421.9

additional notes:

mix 6 pts paint - 2 pts dt reducer - 1 pt dcx61
special low gloss color

this is the correct color for all body side molding and trim for
1986 mustang gt - charcoal.
