Yes PPG did not sell custom matched colors. They sell original lacquer colors in quarts only.

I bought international blue several years ago and I could have ordered red last summer if I wanted it

if you can find it..they quit making bases/ toners etc 3 years ago. They still sell solvent and primer..
if you dont need custom colors
duplicolor paint shop has a line in standard colors, base coat can stand alone without clear even though they sell it just like oem used to on most c3’s ( no clear)

Here you go. Put your Corvette color in the ebay search then automotive laquer. I would NOT use this for touchup but for a brand new whole car job I ASSUME it would work. Is it a perfect OEM NCRS match? I dunno. I just started researching this myself so if anyone has info on these guys I would be interested.
