Paint Code Question
My ’79 was originally Black (19L) and was repainted two-tone prior to me purchasing. I believe it is Pace Car colors. I am in the process of adding pace car front spoiler; it is fitted but needs painting and I want to be sure I get correct paint.
Paint question:
The paint code on Pace Car was "19/47".
19 = Black
47 = Not in Paint Code optionsGeorge

Is "47" the same color as 13 (Silver Metallic)?
If not what is it?

The black book shows 13/07 for the paint code on silver anniverary's, light silver on top, darker on the bottom. So maybe 07 & 47 are the same?

Most automotive paint stores will have color chips to hold against your car to determine the color. Some paint stores have paint analyzer guns that they can "shoot" the paint on your car and be able to mix the exact color.
