        I found this mail in my "archives". Is it what you're looking
for?

          For the past week or so I have been trying to cross reference
the
          original paint codes for TR3's.  Locals were not very helpful
as the only
          numbers I had were from Piggott's book and from the Moss TR3
catalog.

          The Ditzler numbers listed by Moss are obsolete numbers.  I
finally got
          the number of the PPG (Ditzler) Color Library.  The lady there
was very
          helpful and was able to provide current PPG codes for the
obsolete
          numbers.

          Since the paint shop I am using utilizes DuPont paint (he has
a complete
          mixing operation) I then cross referenced them to DuPont.

          Color          Ditzler       PPG       Dupont
          Pearl White     8204        90093      45374
          Sebring White   8247         8869      37920
          Spa White       8335        90106      H7896

          PPG Color Library @ 216-572-6100

          Hope this is helpful to someone.
