Thanks Challenger RTA! What a great source of paint information! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Ma Mopar had (has) the best exterior body paint!

ECUDAME ( I just had to use it!) Just to be correct 64 CHRYSLER and IMPERIAL colors. I might get corrected. @ECUDAME I had to post here. Hope this is a help.

Great post! Lots to read.

Hey, I hate to be a pain, but as an auto body professional, with a mixing bank, formulas, etc, there is no DDL toners to mix these products.
Lacquer has been gone from PPG for a few years, and the specialty paint mixers products would not follow ppg formula.
I would love some more DMA 364 as my supply started to get a bit dry, as I didn't use it fast enough. Lacquer doesn't keep forever.
I have a full mixing bank of single stage urethane, and formulas back to late sixties that I'm trying to use up. At least it doesn't go hard without activator.

Mr. Cuda, with the information provided here, any competent shop would be able to recreate the correct 81403 color, right? As in there's some kind of cross reference?

 

[Mr Cuda]

Your Ivory is very basic with just black, yellow, and green in white.
Every brand has a different yellow and green toner used to make colors. Often multiple toners in each color family.
So there is no use using a dupont formula in ppg, or god forbid, Omni.
There are universal paint chip decks that you can compare to your paint, and get a formula to it. Sometimes it will come back with a car make. Not always. Universal charts can be in between codes as variances.
My favorite chart was the sikkens universal color map. A book really. It listed every car make that used each chip in it.
1968 GG1 is the same as porsche.
Light blue on a mid 70's VW is the same as 1956 chev.
Colors are cyclical.
Your cream (Ivory) should be an easy match.
