I am restoring a 1933 Chevrolet Master Phaeton. The original colour on the car was combination no 130, Altura Green (IM 692 or Duco 246-5763) and Laurel Green (IM 651 or Duco 246-6423)

Any help in modern equivalents would be deeply appreciated as I seem to have hit a road block in identifying the correct color equivalent.

Thanks

I'm a little surprised that a good paint shop can not match the color you seek. Especially when you give them the numbers.

If all else fails do you have a good spot on the car that they can scan?

Both Dupont and PPG India are unable to help. I did get some equivalent recommendations from a member of the Vintage Chevrolket Forum which are

Altura Green = 1969-70 Renault "Dublin Green" code 942
Acme 90469, R-M RE125, duPont 8507 or 51088, Ditzler 44536 or 44085

Laural Green = 1968-74 Ford truck "Boxwood Green" code K
Acme 5558, R-M 2355, duPont 4932, Ditzler 44643

Cream Medium = 1974 Toyota "Yellow" code T-528
Acme 91781, R-M 2355, Ditzler 82172

also a Dupont color specialist suggested

Altura Green - GS167
Laurel Green - GS271

Now when I spray tested the panels based on all the above recommendations none seem to match the original green that I had seen a small patch of as we scrapped it down to bare metal

Just this morning TCP Global have acknowledged they can supply panels so I might end up ordering them.

If anyone does know of any info on modern equivalents it would help

Thanks
