Does anyone have a can of PPG or other common paint in Colonial White base coat, for a 1956 Thunderbird that I can get a number off of? I need to paint some wheels. My car was painted about 15 years ago base coat clear coat, but the previous owner lost the paint info in a fire.

Perfect match. You can get single stage or base coat/clear coat.

I was hoping for a paint number so I could order it from a local supplier to save shipping.

A Google search of ford colonial white paint code yields this chart:

So my best guess is Ditzler PPG 8103.

I had trouble finding colonial white at a local paint place, settled on wimbledon white. Good that you found it.
