I am at a stand still because I can't find up to date color codes for Horizon Blue and Indian Ivory. The numbers that I have been able to get off the internet are not helpful to the auto paint suppliers that I have tried so far. If anyone has a number right off the can I would appreciate hearing from them. Thanks

will get back to you tomorrow will look in my ppg cross reference book and see what comes up numbers wise if you had your numbers off the tag on the cowl it would help a lot andy

Thanks Andy, the info from the plate is
Paint No. 556
Do you know what the trim number tells us? Mine is

Thanks Andy for all you help and information. With great anticipation and excitment I went to the local Napa paint dept. only to find out to start with I cannot buy single stage in my state of Delaware but you can buy the reducers which makes no sense. The next thing the fellow looks at are the numbers and works at his computer and comes up with no cross reference. I'm right back to where I started from. I can get base coat clear coat as soon as I get a paint number for it.
I have no experience using base coat clear coat. Boy life use to be so simple.

GO TO A REPUTABLE PAINT STORE THAT SPECIALIZES IN PPG ,DUPONT OLD DITZLER THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS I SENT YOU MY PAINT GUY SAID THE PAINT CODES FOR THE NUMBERS I GAVE ARE STILL AVAILABLE THATS ALL I CAN DO GOOD LUCK

You can still buy nitrocellulose lacquer or acrylic lacquer.........paints and thinners.
HIBERNIA AUTO RESTORATION in NJ.......google them for phone number. They have web site with prices of paint and make all original colours.

life does get simple again, if you know how to paint, nothing easier than nitro or acrylic and stuff will not kill you if wearing wrong mask !!
