Paint codes and names

[BobJones]

I'm trying to find the right paint for my 59 SER II. The paint shops I've talked to say the codes I have are wrong.
Glasurit ROV-605 should be Pastel green, but it comes up as a 2007 metalic green!
The PPG code for Pastel green is a MG code, light green.
One shop did find some Glasurit codes for a 1959 Rover but does not list Pastel Green, but a Chinese light green.
Is anyone familiar with this? Is Chinese light green right?
This is getting confusing.
Thank you for any help.

I've found the DuPont codes are still good!!

My paint sales rep for Dupont in my area gave me the exact recipe for mixing this color in Dupont Imron.

The code # is: 42-38504 B Pastel Green

It matches my '69 88. If that number does not help, PM me, and I will type out the exact mixing recipe for the tints.

Dupont Imron is a durable, industrial paint. You wouldn't use it on a Porsche, but it should take care of your Series.

Hope this helps.
