Now that I'm painting my 1947 WDX for the second and hopefully last time, I would like the code(s) for Dodge Truck Red. I have looked up the old Ditzler codes for 1947-1957 and relayed them to the local Sherwin Williams, Du Pont and PPG auto paint stores. The response was:Duh,can't help you. Actually Sherwin Williams came up with Dodge's code for a 49 Power Wagon(PW) but when mixed was way too orange for my idea of Dodge Truck Red. If possible I would like Dupont's(that's the brand my painter insists I use)latest code(s) for the equivalent of Dodge Truck Red.So if any of you painted your PW red in the last 10 years and used Dupont, please drop me a note.Thanks in advance.
