I tried looking through some old threads about paint but couldn't find any info on this. Does anyplace carry aerosol spray cans of original paint for older vehicles? I would like to paint some of the interior parts while I have them off, original 54 F250 color was B (Sheridan Blue). Also I will have the valve cover off and would like to paint it, it is a light gray, would have to be a heat resistant paint. Can't find anything locally, even the body shops say their paint is a two stage clearcoat. I'm not close to the painting stage, but I suppose if I could find paint in a larger size I might have to buy a cheap sprayer.

The following code is for a 53 F100 I recently had touched up which is original color. PP&G code (10428) is not original color. It is too light although picture of chip is correct on color chart. Correct code is; Sheridan Blue Paint Code for the 53 F100 is Color Code B/Duco 864/Dulux 93-81501

Picked up my 53 yesterday and the body shop said the PP&G code is good and that the spray I ordered from automotive touch up .com was not mixed correctly. Said companies will use same formula and same name most of the time but give different code numbers.
FYI

They are DuPont brand names for different types of paint. For Example DULUX is regular automotive enamel. CENTARI is Acrylic Enamel. IMRON is Polyurethane Enamel. DUCO is one of the first "modern" Automotive Paints. It's lacquer and was originally named "Viscolac" when released in 1921. It was slightly improved for use on GM products and re released as "DUCO."
