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.
TR3-TS25264L
