Why not directly contact DuPont and get the formula from them????...or buy the interior color from one of the major Corvette suppliers???

Spent over hour and half with the DuPont folks in Houston on Friday and they couldn't come up with it...hence the request. Trying to work it out to shoot it the interior on Monday. If anyone has already decipher the paint code, I would really appreciate the solution. Thanks!

Just suggesting....I know you want DuPont....but can you get access to PPG??? IF SO...call 1-800-647-6050...go to the color library...get them to look it up and it may be a 'historical' code.

OR...order the dye in a quart can so you can spray it out of a gun and postpone it a few days while waiting for it co come in.

Not knowing if you know or not....but if DuPont can not help you in this...I doubt anyone will be able to give you a formula for DuPont...they might be able to get you a formula...but if the toners/pigments are no longer available...then the formula is useless....because DuPont could have removed some of the pigments for interior colors and NOT have a formula for the current updated toners/pigments.
