I wish I could. The PO had the car painted and I tried to get the codes
from the shop, but it had changed hands and the new manager didn't keep
the old records.
When the car runs I may stop in there and see if I can jog someone's
memory.
You will have to do a bit of sleuthing to find the paint. I think it's a
laquer (it chips easily!), but I can't tell for sure.
If anyone out there knows how to identify types of paint, I will be able
to get the number, I know the place where the raw paint was purchased, but
there is 5 or 6 different mixes of paint! They all give a similar shade
of JRG but work differently in your spray gun.
I suggest going to a paint store and asking to see their chip catalog.
Then you can use whichever kind of paint is best for your car (laquer,
enamel, etc)
