The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Paint choice for a 51 GMC

Hello,

I saw on Rob's OldGMCTrucks.com the paint chip sheet from Ditzler for the paint colors.

Click Here for the Paint Chips

The very bottom and right corner is a "DQE-10049 Ferrara Blue" if I am making it out correctly.

Does anyone know more about this color? Does anyone have a paint chip I could have/buy?

Thats the color I want, and Im trying to figure out how to get it into liquid form!

Also, as you probably know PPG? Bought out Ditzler. I tried to take the code to the local paint shop, no go?

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dallas

With the huge amount of feedback I received on my post here :-(, I was able to find what I was looking for.

(It was actually Kook's emails that helped me)

FYI, for those interested.

With all paints GM had, you can call DuPont.

Their number is 866-861-4569

They can find pretty much find any gm color. The color I was looking for is actually a '39 GM Color, so they said.

They cross referenced it with a Spectramaster code, which pretty much EVERY local paint shop carries.

My Spectramaster code for Ferrara Blue is BS456.

50 bucks for a quart of base, not bad.

Just an update, and good info for those that need it. . .

-thanks Rob

Thanks Rob, and Cook, don't help on the sly. There are many others that might want that same information. Also, the more times it ends up in the archives the easier it will be to find for the next person.
