Anyone have the modern paint code for 1956 Danube Blue and Roman Copper?

Please tell us that you are not putting both on one car.

Mike, I had my Roman Copper mixed to match a chip because all the newer near-equivalents had too large a metallic flake. I was given a match for Danube Blue but in the end it wasn't that close so again I'd recommend getting it mixed to match. My mixes were done by a PPG dealer.

You are joking, right Pat? These two along with Dover white was the most popular tri-color combination on the 56 Caribbean.

Sounds like a Caribbean paint job.

I had a 56 Clipper in Danube blue and Dover white. They just color matched the blue to the inside of the door.

Color code 'MES' my absolute favorite of the Caribbean tri-color combinations.

The color code "MES" is absolutely the best Caribbean color trio they made.
