Update to this real old thread: The DuLux paint code for the correct '60 225 metallic deep aquamarine engine paint is 15657D2. Tends to be a very difficult code to bring up any more, though you might luck out. If you don't, fetch a bottle of this nail polish, which is a dead-on-balls match for 15657D2, take it to an auto paint supply house and have them make you some of it in a high-heat enamel. You can (or they can) spread it evenly on a white card, let it dry, then use their scan tool to derive a paint recipe/formula. |

Further update to this ancient thread: I have been informed by a major auto paint supply house specialising in vintage car restoration materials that the old code 15657D2 crosses to the new PPG/Ditzler code 11923. I have not verified this with my own eyes as I did with that nail polish reference, but I'm parking the info here in case anyone will try it one day. |

For that matter, Greg, your car's body paint looks to be in the close neighbourhood of this engine paint we're talking about! |

I dunno.. I think its the monitor.. I have an original '60 block out of a pioneer or something.. they are not the same in my opinion... but they are both metal flake metallic. Greg |

(And now I'm on my computer, it looks a lot less like a match. I think your car is greener than that engine colour.) |

For a close match on that silver, try something like VHT SP-188 "Ford" Argent wheel paint. |
