Thanks, Tim

the following shows Aurora Red was dropped in August/September 1930

the following shows it available for the 32-34 model

Note that one of the paint chip pages has notes on it showing vermillion and aurora the same with a period paint code.

Vermillion and aurora reds are not the same shade and carried different "M" numbers when used by Ford.

Here's the paint chip reference for most REDS.

And from the Model A Club paint codes for both the Aurora and Vermillion.

found Auroa red as a 1930-32 Chevy color,Dupont #246-5036. Didn't find PPG sorry

I cannot find a Dupont formula for Dupont #246-5036. And it does not cross. Have you been able to get this color mixed? If so how and where.
Thanks
