Default PAINT CODE #s

Thanks for your help. I went to the paint store PPG to get the paint to paint my 1960 Corvette go kart. Their computer lists two reds for 1960 for all GM cars. They said if I can get the trim #s they should be able to mix Roman Red and Ermine White. If you have a car with thse colors, would you check your trim tag and give me the numbers? THANKS!!!!

Don't think there is a trim tag.

No trim tag prior to 63 but they did put the color usually with green crayon on 60's in the trunk on the right vertical panel behind the trunk. The GM code would have been 506A but the PPG referenced above is probably what they want.
