Not sure if this will help but I have the formula used on my '56 TR3 almost
20 years ago. The shop had original paint chips used on LBCs and I had them
match the one that was used in the 50s. I love the color, but can't say if
it is the exact one you want. The paint was R-M Diamond by BASF and was
system 88something. The name is covered by the paint. Here is the formula
they wrote on the label for me for a gallon:
BR50 311.2
500 1694.5
605 2611.3
200 3187.0
405 3406.1
640 3524.1
I need to repaint the car in the near future and will also be looking for a
modern code.
