524 red-orange/hugger, DuPont code?
 
My paint guy really prefers DuPont paints, but the common paint reference sites do not seem to list a DuPont code for 524 red-orange. I see ppg, Sherwin Williams, GM, Chrysler, etc. codes, but the DuPont line is empty. Do they not have this in their system? It seems to be the only one without a DuPont code listed too, which is just my luck. Obviously custom mixes are available, but would prefer an accepted/known standard mix. Any suggestions?

That’s a bummer it must’ve been the shop itself everything I have done has been single stage and have never had any issues PPG

Thanks for the messages, but my question wasn’t intended to ask what other brands there are for options. I know the SW and PPG codes. The question was Meant to be whether DuPont has a code for 524 red-orange (Sorry for the confusion), or if it’d have to be a custom mix. Also, my paint guy isn’t near Athens.

Sorry...
I'd say contact Dupont and ask...beyond that I guess custom mix...are you trying to match existing paint? Or a complete paint job?
Heres sorta a discussion I found...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=4854464
No real answer in it though..

NP. Spent way to much time looking at paint due to my new paint. After all the mistakes and research I ended up going with a newer paint.
