63-64 interior paint recommendations

[Stephen T.]

Looking for paint recommendations for interior Riverside Red. My paint store says my old numbers (PPG DIA-71387 D) is obsolete. Help!

Read through the above link. Tower paint can make anything in a rattle can....

Link to TCPGLOBAL 1963 Color Library is attached. They supply old PPG lacquer paint and can mix. Interior colors had various gloss levels, which is also shown on page 2 of the link.

Besides Tower, Hibernia Paint can still mix and provide lacquer paint. Just Google the name for contact info.

The other alternative is to have your local paint shop do a computer match on a sample from you, and then mix to match with a modern paint system. They still sell/handle acrylic enamels (with and without harder) at the local shops. Many shops can supply this bulk or in spray cans.

But if you must have (modern) lacquer, Hibernia or TCPGlobal are your best bets.

I believe Tom Ames is still our NCRS "go-to" paint guy. You could also call him for information.
