New one here! And need some help.
I'm from Mexico and the Dupont suppliers don't know about how to make this color.
Does anybody knows the mix?Thanks.

Under 68 Mustang, give them code D. That color was used for at least three years 68-70. PPG brand paint has the formula in single stage and basecoat/clearcoat urethane. It's also available in the Sikkens brand.

I know the codes in 60's was "D" and in 70's "6" , Dupont code nbr: 4857
But the guys from dupont here, do not recognize the number, they just have newones in their system.
My intention is to paint my car Acapiulco blue with white le mans strips so I need the dupont 817 white color mix too. I took the white code from a shelby page.

I don't know if this will help but the Ditzler code for Acapiulco Blue is 13357,maybe a cross reference to the Dupont?Also have you tried to contact Dupont Mexico,heres the URL below.

Welcome aboard! Try a Dupont automotive paint store. I got Clearwater Aqua just a few months ago in base clear.

This is the formula to make a gallon, if you need a quart just divided the numbers by 4.
First number will be the ingredient and the one to the right the quantity in grams.

My bodyman is having a bit of a problem matching this color to the original paint on my car. So far, he's had this code mixed by three different companies, PPG, Martin Seymour, and RM {?} and he has three different colors and metallic grains.He wants me to come and pick which one I like. You'd think the same formula would be universal. Maybe this is because it's a metallic? ------------------
