I went down to the local PPG dealer to get some R4 red for my 69 Charger. I gave him the code off the paint chips of 71582. He says it doesn't show up in their computer. Now what? Anybody have the formula for that color or at least the exact same color in a modern car color to use? It's a total repaint including jambs so I'm not matching exisiting paint.

I'm planning on the Global bc/cc system. Unfortunately the girl at the counter didn't seem to want to help. Just said it wasn't pulling anything up on the computer. After speaking with another body guy, he mentioned he called directly to PPG and that code is a valid color. All they had to do was call the tech hotline at the color library. What a bunch of slackers! I guess a simple phone call is too much effort to sell hundreds of dollars in paint and clear!

It's obvious the problem is your dealing with Incompetant People there :icon_smile_dissapprove: :icon_smile_angry: I'm sure they can get the Formula if they really wanted to. PPG even have there formulas on line/website. As do other paint sources.  :pity: LEON.

When I had my R6 PPG BC/CC mixed up a couple years ago I am sure that R4 was in the book because they made sure to get the right "red" before mixing.

I'm sure they have it, if it comes down to it I could look it up for you at school. Are you looking for the toners or you the PPG#? Lady at the desk was probably searching for factory packs, who knows?

Problem is alot of the Computers people only enter the newer paint codes. Like from 1975 & up. or 1980 & up. Or Sporadic older ones but all the new ones. It just never got intered into that Particular Computer probably because to time consuming to enter them all. Just my Opinion. Good chance you drive down the road to next paint store & they would have it. LEON.
