Roman Red & Riverside Red paint question:

[Norris W.]

Daggum, I thought I posted this question the other night, but I can't find it. Anyhow, the local Dupont dealer called the factory and they spit out the same formula for Roman Red and the 63/64 Riverside Red. I always thought the Roman was a little "redder" than the Riverside with it's slight orange tone. I painted my 60 with this formula several years ago. With the 59 coming within range of being ready to paint, I want to be double sure.

From everything I've understood, Roman Red and Riverside Red are the same forumula. Chevrolet just changed the name in '63.

Re: Roman Red & Riverside Red paint question:

The DuPont (original supplier) code is the same for Roman Red and Riverside Red. I posed the same question to DuPont and got the same answer.
