[Tigers] New paints

[steve wick]

I'd be interested in hearing if someone comes up with a modern paint code. My car is supposed to be Midnight Blue, but was stripped and repainted red back in the mid '70's, so I don't have a spot where I can have the paint shop scan the old paint.

                You probably got those numbers from me.



The problem is that at my paint shop those old numbers no longer translate to a paint mix.

Some paint shops may have those old paint codes and mixes available but most do not.

This is what I had saved from somewhere:

Ditzler code: 12633
Dulux enamel: 97365
Chrysler #: 75242838
Burger code: 404.1710
ICI: 2983
