Pat,
47-55 Paint Codes Tech-Tip For 1952, the Mariner Blue paint code information is as follows:
1952 RPO: 234G
PPG: 10419
DuPont: 93-63203
Please not that the codes changed in 1953 (but the name, Mariner Blue, remained the same). DuPont does/did not indicate a change in codes but PPG (Ditzler does/did).
Just in case you are still unable to open/read the Tech-Tip, here is some additional information found at the bottom of the Tip:
PPG has an excellent Color Library that most PPG jobbers do not know about (PPG Automotive Refinish, Customer Support Center, CSC). The color library can tell you if the original color is still available or, if it is not, they will usually have an "offset" number for a matching color. DUPONT does not provide this service .
The PPG Color Library can usually provide matches if you have Year, Model, Name of Color (sometimes they can tell you the colors that were available); but, it helps to have the PPG/Ditzler color code/number (in the table above). They do not have a way of showing you the colors.
440-572-6100 PPG Color Library - had all the paint codes that I needed for a 1954 restoration (new number Apr '07: 1-800-647-6050).
440-572-6111 PPG Tech Services Refinish (gave me the phone number for the Color Library).
440-572-6871 FAX number for the PPG Color Library (they will fax you modern color off-sets and formulas). Maybe they are now able to send this information via email?If you call PPG, please let us know if the phone number(s) work and if you were able to obtain a modern off-set code.
I have the modern 53-55 PPG off-set code for Mariner Blue, but you should try to get the earlier code.
