Need paint color code
The documentation, on my 1962B coupe reveals that the vehicle was Ruby with black vinyl interior. Does anyone know a current paint color that matches Ruby? The information for a Nason or PPG product would be preferred. Thank you, in advance, for your reply.

Re: Need paint color code
The paint code for ruby red is 5702 and if you go to a Sherwin Williams automobile paint store they can mix the paint to the original Glasurit specification.

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Re: Need paint color code
For the '62 in the original question, paint code 6202 is correct (5702 is the Ruby Red code for '57-59 cars).Dick Weiss wrote:David,

I am definitely no expert, but had I ever gotten around to painting my tub, I planned to use the spray out card I got from Willhoit (http://www.willhoitautorestoration.com/paintsamples.php). As I understand, most paint suppliers can very closely match color to a sample, and I think Wilhoit's samples are pretty much as close as you can get to the real deal. Only from my reading over the years, I think it is difficult to rely on an old paint code as a basis for a current match.
