Colour code for "Mille Miglia Red"
My '72 has the color Mille Miglia Red and the number of that color is 973.
But, when I phoned a local company here in sweden that are able to mix carpaint in spray cans, that information was not enough.
They said that they needed a code that should begin with 1-3 letters and then have 4 digits.
I would be very pleased if anyone knew the code or knew how I would be able to get it.

I dont know if this will help you or not but the PPG code for your paint OEM # 973 is #2349 and is available from PPG perhaps your paint sjop can use the ppg code to get the mix.

Damn, I gave the guy the code he wanted but the color was to old, they did not have the receipe (spelling?).
If anyone has the recepie (better?) to this colour in Deltron or knows how to get it, please inform me!

I can't believe the paint company doesn't have a cross reference .
I know paint guys that match paint everyday without a code.
