Have you seen this web site? I'm having the same problem for my 60 Roman Red. My painter said these codes are for single stage paint, but he thinks he can get correct color mixed from the codes provided on the web site for base coat/clear coat.

According to an old book I have "Corvette V8 - 1955 - 1962, Complete Owner's Handook published by Floyd Clymer many, many years ago, the red interior paint is regular lacquer DuPont Duco #2967-H or Ditzler DL 70961 or RM 59C51. These paints are specifically listed for the 1960 Corvette; however, far as I know Roman Red was the same color from 1959 - 1962.

Larry,
Those were the paint codes but they can't be mixed today since the materials are no longer available.

Paul,
Also remember that the hub on the steering wheel was painted at a different time then the rest of the interior and it typically does not match the steering column color.
