I had some paint mixed to match the Rock Moss Green on my truck a couple of years ago for touch up work. They came up with a dead on match through their computer. It was DuPont single stage acrylic urethane, the numbers on the can are;

552028G 1983 Ferrari Dark Green
Code: 573.310

Also, since I put the Ferrari paint on the truck, I noticed its a few tenths quicker in the quarter mile.

I have the same codes for DuPont and PPG as WestCoast - L8621 and 117.

Don't know, call them and find out.

Although the info is 12 years old the store is still there with the same phone number. I don't know about John.

I am painting my car with the DuPont L8621 right now. It may not be as fast as a Ferrari color, but it looks great! JB

Thanks to all who responded. All good now.

Is there anything special about the black for fenders, etc.?

Keep in mind the Paint Chip Charts ARE the standard. While you may have a code and it may be correct (or close) the BEST standard is the paint chip and have it scanned. Then verify by eye.

Not to say that an existing code, any code is not correct for your eye.

Color machines have failed before - and based on LEDs and electronic sensors and filters - which can age.

As can the paint chips "fade" - but this is less likely as the paint used for the standard is chosen NOT TO.

There is no absolute in color.
