Paint Code/Name Lucite Rinshed-Mason Ditzler

K ~ Emerald Turquoise 4818L A-1903 43661

Can you post a pic of the Trim Tag? I believe the paint code should be KK since it was a standard color.

Welcome to the site...

All manufacturer's colors will not be dead on to the original lacquer. The tints, especially the metallics, are not the same as they were on a lacquer system. If you are shooting Sikkens or another just call the tech line and ask for a lab match. It's done all the time. Having a sample is even better. If you are not happy with the match you will have to tweak it.
