FYI, I have already had 5 samples mixed from 60-63 colours. Unfortunately none of them are quite right (most are way off) and it is very difficult taking old paint codes to paint suppliers in Australia who are a pain to deal with. I am now very close to painting the car and that is why I am trying to sort this out quickly.

I was hoping that if I could track down the owner I could pinpoint the EXACT colour and more specifically I was hoping he might still have the paint tin with the paint formula itself. This is what I am really chasing as I am working with vague details at the moment. Thanks for the info about 61/63 impala...I'll see if I can follow that lead further.

Keep in mind that colors can look vastly different from computer monitor to computer monitor. So even with the code the color might look different than the picture on your monitor. Your right though the exact paint code is the place to start.

Good luck
Marc
