The local DuPont distributor should know the formula. If they say it's out of date, then they have a cross reference table to let you know if there is a more modern paint color of a different name that has replaced it in the formula names.
For example, my truck is going to be painted a 1953 Odsmobile "Royal Marine Blue" I've used this color to paint at least two other thrucks and a boat (I'm in such a rut).
Anyway, when last I ordered a quart, the guy behind the counter handed me the can and it said: "1971 Toyota Ocean Green." I looked at him like he was an idiot. But when I looked in the can at the color it looked good. I took and put a drop of that on a piece of paper next to a drop out of the old can of 53 Olds, and it was an exact match.
I thought you guys would never stop ribbing me for putting an Olds Color on my truck BUT THIS - TOYOTA!!!!!
I'm so ashamed!
Just ask them - maybe a paint chip might help if they have to scan it - that usually works pretty good too.
Good luck,
Julie
