Guest dbnz Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sorting through some papers, I found this document listing the colors pre 1928. Unfortunately page 2 is missing. Presumably Chrysler would still have a full copy of this.Is there any way of getting modern paint codes for these colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 So, if DB started applying lacquer to the cars around 1925, am I to assume they used enamel or something else before that? I have a 1918 DB touring that I am restoring, and I want it to be the right paint. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 A combination of enamel and varnish was used during the time period of 14-24. Your car would have originally been sprayed with an enamel paint that was baked to give it a tougher finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
