In the "Paint & Body Shop" forum, Denny Graham has reported that he contacted the PPG Color Library (new phone number) and they gave him an "offset formula". Denny posted that he has not yet sprayed the paint.

Have you guys contacted the PPG Color Library? I have had no luck with local PPG dealers or jobbers but I have had 100% success getting offset formulas for all 1954 exterior and interior colors from the PPG Color Library. I take those formulas to the local PPG dealers and jobber and get the paints mixed locally.

Here is what Denny posted:

"I contacted the PPG color library Tim. The number has changed to 1-800-647-6050. Asked for an offset for the Ditzler 31104 listed on the chart. The lady told me that she would have to make up a formula for that and would email it to me. She had to make it up in DBU and from what I understand with out the clearcoat that's DUI.

I got the email an hour or so later, a series of numbers, colors and proportions. I called it in to the dealer an hour away then me and the dog drove down to pick up another qt. of DBU/DUI.

The tint looks right in the can, that's all I can say right now. I haven't had a chance to spray any samples yet.
