59 paint

[John Masti]

I am restoring a 1959 Corvette and plan on painting it Crown Sapphire. Does anyone have the paint code for it. I have been told the paint code for lacquer is different than todays 2 stage paints which I plan on using so I would also be interested if someone also has the code for it. I also plan on a Turquoise interiopr and plan to repaint it as well. Is the interior paint the same as the exterior. One Corvette restoration supplier shows the same interior paint for 1959 and 1960. I read in the archives emails between Philip McNamara and Loren Lundberg where the interior Turquoise for a 1960 was listed as DL 12228 or 93996, what would it be for a 1959. I also read another email where the person said the interior paint they purcahsed looked more like Crown sapphire than Tasco Turquoise
