VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 paint color specifications

Hello everybody,
Looking on the '1931Chevrolet.com' web site under Paint Color Specifications/DUCO Color Specifications, I read a different type of paint brand/number used with wire wheels as opposed to the same color paint used on mouldings and stripes. The wire wheels list 'DULUX' brand, while the mouldings/stripes list 'V.E.P.' or 'DUCO' brand. Why not use the same brand of paint on all surfaces that require the same color? I'm wondering if wire wheels [requiring frequent manhandling] would demand a more durable paint than mouldings and stripes. I don't know. As far as the modern equivalent paints to match the original paints, it doesn't appear to be an issue. Any ideas? Also, on the modern equivalent listing, Cream Medium is flagged 'Don't use this match'. Is there an alternative? Thank You 1931 Chevrolet Coach-Paint Code 72

The Duco used on body panels is a nitrocellulose based lacquer paint which requires buffing to produce a shine to the body. The wheels , not requiring as high a standard of finish could have been finished with dulux(enamel) which cures / dries to a gloss naturally and does not require buffing, reducing the labour and cost needed to mass produce a vehicle.

All those paint codes are for DuPont paint. The Duco is the trade name for nitrocellulose lacquer. Dulux is enamel and V.E.P. is striping paint (one shot is a modern equivalent).
