1953 Sportsman Red Paint

[Isaac Tyson]

Hello,
I'm looking for the PPG paint code for 1953-1954 Sportsman Red in Lacquer. I was looking at the PPG color charts and the ones I saw didn't have it. I also checked AutoColorLibrary.com and they didn't show it either. Does anyone know the code off hand and perhaps who might be able to mix the paint if my local PPG shop can't mix it?
Thank you,
-Tyson

First off -- 53's only came in Polo White.

You should be able to get the color off http://www.autocolorlibrary.com They should be able to come up with the formula.

I looked there....

Thanks, but I already checked both those sites and neither had the codes. If Sportsman Red was not offered in 1953, then what color was the interior? Polor White as well? I'm actually working on 54 interior parts... Thanks, Tyson
