Paint code mystery

[dammstrate]

New 65 Newport for me off the internet, which means I didn't inspect the car first (I know). Used to have a 65 Sport Fury, sold it while ago, now this. Love the 65 Mopar styling. Anywhoo, the paint code on the fender tag is FF-1, mist blue. That's what I thought this was. But clearly it has been repainted, and there is evidence of a slightly turquoise original coat. See pics. Does FF-1 have a slight turquoise tint to it? I doesn't seem to when you look it up, but can't really tell from a small computer picture. Underpaint looks like KK-1 Peacock Turquoise, but that's not the fender tag. Maybe current paint is not an original Mopar color? It almost has a purple background hue to it. Comments?

Here's the 65 colors. Hard to tell from pictures and chips but maybe it's been repainted 66-1 Mauve Poly. Maybe a good picture in the sunlight might be better. If you have any sunlight in MN this time of year.

Possibly the door was replaced?

your color looks a lot like Ford portofino blue...think it's a 94 color... a light metallic blue with a purple tint...I have a Chevy C10 I painted that color

The car was painted a dofferent color from stock.

When looking at the door jamb you can see it was all painted the same as the outside of the car, The paint on the other side of the weatherstrip is the interior paint color. Not always the same as the body color.

Something doesn't add up here. It looks like if you had FF-1 exterior you could only have the H1B blue interior. That certainly looks like the H1Q turquoise interior.

Same issue under the hood and under trunk. Under (original?) paint has a slight greenish hue. Fender tag FF-1 is "blue mist", does it have a greenish hue in reality?

I didn't catch this previously, good input. Would the interior color be on the data plate somewhere?

No if you can find the broadcast sheet. Mine was under the rear bench seat half eaten by mice.

The "B" under the "M" in the TRM indicates blue. Turquoise would have been Q
