 I've called a couple companies, both locally and online. I've given them all the paint codes in the 1952 Authenticity manual for my 6267X. Both colors I'm seeking are exterior Nassau Blue Metallic, and interior trim Romany Red. Paint codes in manual are a no go, and the paint color on page A-29 appears to be incorrect. The pic shows a dark blue not the lighter Nassau Blue. But I do have a small handwritten tag on door the previous owner placed. It says Nassau Blue,  ACR.LACQA-179G.  I know my car is lacquer paint, and will not be using lacquer. I thought that was the paint code he used, but again the folks I talked to don't know. I need couple types of touch up  an aerosol can in each, and bottle with brush. Any ideas on who may be able to do this, and find colors I need? Anyone have the modern paint codes  your using for these 52 colors?
Thanks, Mike

Mike,

Check with these guys, they do color match per the Diztler paint chip, unfortunately minimum is a QT when ordering.

Mike, how do you get your car to stay on the ceiling like that ? Mine always falls down, and dents the top.

Haha. You guys are so funny.
I'm dangerous with technology in my hands. Good thing I don't have any high tech metal cutting water torches operated by computers. The car would be in pieces, and the house.
Ok looked at TCP Global paint chip chart as supplied by Gomez. It will be helpful, because I'm driving the Caddy into the big city today to a paint supply house. Ill be armed with it and the manual. Hopefully to get matching modern codes.
My Nassau Blue isn't the same as what's in the Authenticity Manual or on the site above. The one they show is a darker blue. Mines closer to an Olympic blue, just a little darker. The Romany Red shouldn't be a problem, I just haven't seen any pics yet to see if my Romany Red is same. Hopefully ill get what I need today.
