57 dash color paint codes

[mikeyb57]

Does anyone have information regarding the correct paint codes for the 1957 dash colors? I am looking for codes for the red and the beige. Thanks.

The PPG lacquer gallon mix formula for Venetian Red is:

DMA 311 White 74.3
DMA 361 Red 363.6
DMA 336 Orange 1149.2
DMA 356 Orange 4044.4

For Shoreline Beige, it's:

DMA 383 Red 40.0
DMA 384 Yellow 440.0
DMA 346 Black 680.0
DMA 311 White 4280.0

Call the PPG Color Librarian at (440) 572-6111 for any updates - those formulas are what they were 12 years ago when I did mine.
