Riverside red paint code?
Guys, I need to find a current pait code for Riverside Red 1964. Only one I have found is the old original, which my painter claims he can not find in his arcives.
Please help!

Had my '63 painted this spring. Body shop uses PPG Deitron. The original GM code they used was 923 and the PPG code is DBU71243 H. They call it Seminole Red. It looks right and the painter is a 20 year Corvette shop.

Here are the mixing formulas for different quantities. This is for DuPont Chromabase, but I can pull single stage formulas as well if you want them.

BTW the paint code on my data plate says 923A. Everyone refers to it as 923. What does the "A" stand for?
