Wow! You have some very old color code books! I don't believe that
DuPont has offered either Duco, Delux or Lucite paints for thirty
years! Does anyone mix lacquers any more? Even enamels are hard to get.
If you have other codes, I would like to get the code for "Jaguar Dark
Gacing Green," a color used between 1955 and about 1962.
Thanks.
