I paid an arm and a leg for a 1934 color card for my Terraplane. And it's the real thing, even if the colors on the paint coupons are a bit old and faded. I find two colors of dark blue - one with and one without a metallic ingredient. Wow.

Each has a code, of the general formulation of IM XXX, where XXX is a number.
I seem to remember that this kind of code is associated with Ditzler paint.
I also understand that paint companies stoppe dusing these codes, and can't mix colors from them.

Each color has a mixing formula stated (so much of this and so much of that.) Does anyone know how to get from the old codes to something that can be mixed today ??

Thank all of you in advance.

autocolor has been around for a while - they changed the format so that it's easier to find what you're looking for.
