Dupont Chromabase. I suggest using Dupont Chromaclear, But I have been 
sucessful using many different Urethane clears over this base. Even 
some "cheap" Acrylic Urethane's (about $70/gal). I hope the "format" 
of this post shows up like what I'm typing....  Your Dupont Paint 
Jobber should be able to follow this formula without any problem.

Exact matches for my car ('56J, Snowcap White and Ceramic Green Metallic) 
were available, but only in Dulux.  The numbers he gave me were 59738 
for the white and 59734 for the green.  (is this the formula that was 
posted today?)  Apparently these numbers mean something to a store that 
sells DuPont products.  He also said that there were "close matches" 
available for both colors in modern paints (according to him, the following 
codes could be used for any DuPont products) as follows:  White, YM157 
and Green, LS015.  I don't know if that green is the Aston color that 
Bondo was referring to or not.  I'd be interested to see how close 
those "close" matches really are, but i really have no way of telling......

The Dupont codes for Shoshone Red are 1860-H for Duco and 93-57805-H for
> Dulux.  The only grays I can find for '53 or '54 are Olympic Gray and Tacoma
> Gray for '53 and Elko Gray and Cadet Gray for '54 (Tilden Gray is the only
> '55 gray).  I have a Studebaker chart showing color combinations for '53

63 dupont sheet and got a very nice looking avanti gold match in seconds. The bad news is that the same color code was used for a 1991 S-10 pickup

--------------------

For ChromaBase color:
GS726

for Dulux:

55446

I'd probably get a small amount of Dulux (1/2 pint or whatever), spray it on
a panel, then have them sample it with their Spectramaster color matching
computer.  That's probably where DuPont got the ChromaBase color.  It is a
VERY nice color.  I have a 9G-F5 and a 9G-S2.
