Have your supplier phone them at 800-647-6050. Not sure they will give info to a private citizen or if you have to be a shop but worth a try. For example, in 1931 Chev used a "Cellini Green" on wheels. Same color was used on '68 VW as "Sumatra Green". If you have the color name and/or the application they can likely help you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>From AACA Forums<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have 2 modern paint codes that I believe work.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yes, it would be very nice to have a complete listing of modern paint codes for Rootes vehicles.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>86 Forest Green GS280<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>106 Commodore Blue BS616A H<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ron Fraser<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> steve wick <srwick@hotmail.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 01, 2021 8:45 AM<br><b>To:</b> Ron Fraser <rfraser@bluefrog.com>; 'Richard Bruner' <gammaman@mokancomm.net><br><b>Cc:</b> 'Lance Beauchamp' <blance598@gmail.com>; tigers@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tigers] New paints<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I'd be interested in hearing if someone comes up with a modern paint code.
