They have the paint code for DuPont Bell green as 93 546. Also gives a Ditzler code of 40648. The chip shown on this page is what my paint looks like. Remember... not all monitors show colors the same. Mine shows it as Bell telephone green, same as my engines.
Use this info with caution as I have not see actual paint.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

10130 is the correct code. I have compared this to my 4 original blocks and it matches. There will be another code in front of this number denoting the type of paint you use.... I have used the standard single stage with nice results. The paint store will help you with that info.
I'm sure you can get this converted to other paint systems if they have the correct cross reference. It's basically the old Bell Telephone green for what that is worth. Randy is correct, it's olive... I'm not sure anyone sells this proper color either.
Not sure why this information is so hard to come by.

Thats an important issue. I already asked for it in another thread.
In my opinion it is essential for the future of our cars and our club to make some restoration guide lines. Not a "how to disassamble....", but the basic facts as correct colors and platings, nuts and bolts, correct wood work, wheel sizes, and so on...
Some day the older wise guys are gone and nobody knows. The Club Technicians should collect all this knowledge if they are willing to share it.

Well, in the pix above, the blue would be deemed incorrect. The dark green would probably pass the Auburn judges. Colors viewed on the computer can vary alot depending on the monitor and the camera that took the pix.
I don't think the restoration guidelines will be come a reality until this web site is upgraded.
I would think you would be instrumental in making those calls for the L-29's It is a volunteer kind of thing.
