I have tried to look it up but haven't been successful.
Any help decoding this would be appreciated -
PPG
Exterior - RCDSO
WB-139 BRK-B
Interior - TR-MZ TP/PS R
I purchased the truck in 2003. The truck is red with white grill/bumpers.
I'm pretty sure he told me it was the same color as a 1999 Viper? Been too long, memory fades.
Thank you for your time.

One thing I recall is many of the paint companies in the early/mid 2000's revised their paint mixes due to chemical and pigment changes/restrictions and the resulting colors didn't turn out the same after conversion. Here's a link to PPG 73840 1999 Viper Red. It doesn' seem to match up with any of your paint data above.  Hope you can find the answers you seek.

It even goes back to our old trucks and may show alternate codes for the old PPG codes. Unfortunately it doesn’t have any info on original interior paint colors.
