Hey everyone,
 
Don't know much about paint so bear with me....
 
So Big Red is off to my body guy in a few weeks, time for some fresh bondo (it's a Canadian car, eh) and a fresh coat of paint!
 
It's a 1964 Chrysler Windsor Convertible, and was original PPG 71393 Roman Red. The previous owner painted it Hot Rod Red, I'd like to go back to the original color.
 
Anyone know who reproduces this paint? (In Canada would be even better!)
 
Also as far as I can tell, this was originally Acrylic Enamel paint. Would that be the same stuff to get?
 
Closest I've found is Carmine Red http://www.tcpglobal.com/restorationshop/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=RSP+AE1708-KIT-M but if I could find a place that can reproduce the original that would be the way to go.
 
With the PPG code could any body shop get the blend and just "mix up" a gallon?
 
It's a weekend cruiser, not doing a concourse restoration or anything but would like it to look like factory paint.
 
Any insight would be appreciated!
 
Jay
