Nissan paint code 611 Dupont match?

[jmark]

Getting ready to have our '78 280Z repainted Nissan code 611 Wine Red Metallic. Does anyone know the Dupont formula or code for this paint?

Thanks

Can't the Dupont retailer look it up from the Factory Code? Seems like they should be able to. Their # has to be referenced to the Nissan (or whatever manufacturer) code.

PPG is a better paint in my opinion and they can match any color under the sun. I would think your Dupont rep could do the same, no?

Nearly any competant body shop and certainly any body supply shop will be able to look it up on the computer. Of course, they will only be able to tell you the code of the paint manufacturer they use at that shop.

I use the computer at the Dodge dealer to look up paint codes for Dupont.

If the computer doesn't go back that far in time, their books certainly will.

I am sure the shop can. I was trying to educate myself. I figured someone here might have just gone through this with their car. I assume it is a base coat/clear coat correct?

Thanks

Pretty sure it was a plain old alkyd enamel, they didn't have bc/cc in the late 70's.....

I realize the old paint wasn't BC/CC.

Zhome.com has paint information and mperdue did this work of art. http://datsunprojects.org/zpaintcodes/

the dupont reference code for 611 is 45062 and it is in Centari 600 Clear over base.that is what is in my Dupont book so it should be the same for the USA.

Thanks that what I was looking for.
