Anyone know a good source for Olympic White paint for a 1957 Caddy?

Any good auto body supply store should be able to mix it up based on the cowl tag under the hood and the year of the car.

I didn't have any luck with the cross-reference books for the Eldorado specific Olympic White Paint code at my local auto paint store.  I will be very interested in what you may find out.

If you have a place where the paint is original and not faded any good paint supplier can take a special computer camera picture of it and create a modern formula for paint.

The paint store should be able to call the manufactuer's tech support hotline for the formula.

Ran into this with Code 94 - Nautilus Blue for 1961 Eldorado once.

The store couldn't find it in their library, so they called tech support and got the formula.

If the store isn't willing to make a phone call to sell you a few hundred $ worth of paint, I'd move on to the next one.
