61 special paint codes

[albence]

I have a 61 spcial wagon that I am restoring. I am ready to get it painted and was wondering if anyone has paint codes and colors used or can direct me to a source.

Albence, after digging around in a file cabinet, I found an old set of index cards giving the formulas for mixing up Dupont Lucite acrylic lacquer. There are 9 cards dealing with paint on the 61 Specials and 6 more that just are listed as 61 Buick colors. There is a good bit of crossover to other GM brands for 59-62. The same formulas for the Special are used under other paint names for the other GM brands. It is surprising to see how many cards are listed for use on the 61 Specials, but not on the 61 full-size models. You are welcome to the data on these cards if you can use it. Who knows if these can actually be used to mix up paint any more? The mixing materials may not be available any longer. MARTINSR might know.
