Re: engine paint question

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 This is the code on the 62-65 site "RM, Ditzler or Acme Jobber Paint Codes for Mopar Engines
turquoise -- 4799D but delete the metal flake" 
Will that help?

If Duplicolor Chrysler Green, DE 1619 turns out correct that's great! Let me know and I will update the site's info.

Yes there was similar confusion over the correct Poly US car color red/orange. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
