Paint Color Codes

[jlsavard@xxxx]

Hello, all,

>From time to time I have seen references to paint codes, color chips, et al 
on these lists. I never paid too much attention because paint was a subject 
that seemed way off in the future as far as my car was concerned.

To coin a (Para)phrase: "Suddenly It's 1957"!!

My engine is being redone by the same shop that will be painting the car, and 
they've told me they'd like to do the engine bay while they have the engine 
out of the car. It makes sense, but instead of researching paint color next 
spring, I need to do it NOW!

All I know is that it is a 1957 Chrysler Saratoga with a metallic chocolate 
brown top and inserts and a pink or coral body. The "PNT" code on the body 
plate is "NMN".

Would any of you be able to help me translate this cryptic information into a 
formula that the body man can use to order paint color?

Thanks,

Joe Savard
