I'm trying to find modern codes for 1957 Plymouth Marine Blue Poly, Silver Charcoal Poly, and Satin Gray. The Ditzler codes are DQE-11533-DAL, DQU-31226-DAL, and DQE-31324-DAL respectively.

Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.

Martin Auto Color in California uses the PPG books to find the mix, and their books only use the letter code for the paint. In other words, "1957 Plymouth DDD" is the only thing they required to get the mix. Just ask around to find a store that carries those books. When I asked about a color for my Chrysler, they even gave me the mix ratios of all the different components required to create my color. If you can't find anyone that will admit to having the books, then perhaps you can give a Martin Auto Color store a call and ask nicely for the mix ratio. The one I used was in Canoga Park, CA.
