[FWDLK] Paints and codes for '57 Chrysler

[Risto Kivela <Risto.Kivela@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi forwardlookers (sorry this is a bit long),

I'm still restoring my '57 Chrysler NYer 2DHT and I'm having
some difficulties in finding correct exterior and interior
paints. Also I didn't see a data plate in radiator support
where it's supposed to be according to my documentation,
but I found a plate in my pass. side firewall top.

Here are the codes from the plate:

?? N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 SLO NO
 5 5
 SO   NO Model BT  PT  TR  SP
0723 8124 C76 1166 XFX 025

According this plate the NYer has two tone: Cloud White and
Parade Green Metallic exterior paint, which seems to be
correct. Interior is also two tone: light green (Seafoam
Aqua ?) and darker green (???).

The problems that I have are the following:
1. is data plate code TR 025 indicating my interior colors?
If so does anyone know what are they? I think that the light
green is Seafoam Aqua, but I've got no idea what the darker
green color is.
2. I'm having difficulties in finding shops selling Cook
paints. According to documentation that I have, the Seafoam
Aqua and Clould White colors approved vendor is Cook
(Seafoam Aqua = 832-G-106, Cloud White = 832-L-104), but
none of the local paint shops haven't even heard about
Cook paints. Nor was I able to find any info from the web.
Anyone know where one might be able to buy Cook paints here
in US?

That's about it. Happy cruisin' times, we sure have the
right cruising weathers over here in midwest!
