Just a light contact with any body workshop around there, and you musta ask for the DuPont colour catalogs.
They ahve EVERY make, colours, models, schemes, combinations, etc., year by years, make by make and so on.
And the most of all: They HAVE every colour today. Even the engine block special paints. We have these (huge) catalogs even here in the far Spain.
Greetings.

I've been working on my 52 2-dr Riv 3-speed for 2 years now. Rebuilt the 263 L8, restored the frame. Installed air-ride suspension. Not done yet, but I know every inch of this car now!

Check out my resto website: http://www.paarplace.com/maude

I have the original DuPont paint-chip pages, so could give you that info. If I can provide any guidance, let me know.

Hey folks....

If you are ever trying to figure out what paint a code is (provided it is a DuPont paint) DuPont has a great Historical Paint Chip WEB site.

Surf on over to http://www.performancecoating.dupont.com. Select the Automotive Finishes button. Then in the "Search" dialogue box (upper right at the time of this posting) enter "Historical Color Library". Click on one of the links returned that has the "Main Page" text -- should be the first link.

Then on the left hand side of the screen click on "Color Chip Library - Historical" when that expands click on "DuPont Refinish". At the bottom of that page click on "Launch the DuPont Refinish Historical Color Chip Library".

If you have a paint code and a year they have an extensive on-line image collection of paint chips. This is a great reference tool for any DuPont Automotive exterior or interior color for Domestic, Foreign and Truck.

Have fun..
