Paint Help Please
Yahoo Message Number: 57206
I need some help on a Light Grey paint color number for our silver 2001 LD Mid-Bath.

The Cardinal Ellis Code #S numbers I received from the mothership are: Light Grey Silver Metallic:     6629-4590 Dark Grey Charcoal Metallic:   6629-7846

These codes are for the Imron type paint originally applied to our LD.

What I need is the lacquer code for a current paint manufacturer, such as DuPont or PPG, for the Light Grey Silver Metallic.  The color I code in DuPont Centari (Enamel) that I was given by another LD owner is B44434, but it turns out to be way too dark to match the light grey on our LD.

I have what appears to be a good match for the Dark Grey Charcoal Metallic in lacquer, as PPG code 3223, a 1980 GM /84.  The equivalent color in DuPont Centari (Enamel) is B8012.

Lacquer works well as touch-up paint for chips.  I buy new touchup paint plastic jars of about 4 oz capacity, complete with integral brush and a ball bearing that stirs the paint when shaken, for about $2 at a local auto paint supply.   They also have a pressurized air can which has a small empty plastic jar attached that one can fill with lacquer to spray on slightly larger repairs if needed.

Can any of you silver grey LD owners help on this?
