Default Corvette Bronze paint code needed

Does someone have a tried and true Corvette Bronze paint code/formula in either PPG or Dupont paint?????

Camaro Specialties restored a Corvette Bronze Yenko Camaro several years ago... I'd sure like to get the color they used!

Can someone please point me towards the thread about the resto of this Camaro? That's the paint I'm looking for... for my Corvette Bronze 68 SS/RS 396 convertible that I'm trying to get painted before summer.

I called our local PPG store and had them look up the code.They came up with a 1966 aztek bronze with a gm code of M M and PPG number of 71525 and a 1968 covette bronze of gm code 992 and a PPG number of 22969.

I got a call from Ed at Camaro Specialties the other day... and he found what he thinks is the PPG formula for the Corvette Bronze Yenko they painted a few years back.

The PPG paint code is 61039, but its broken down as follows for a one-quart formula:

Tint 629 - 317.8 grams
Tint 631 - 416.0 grams
Tint 616 - 505.2 grams
Tint 644 - 580.2 grams
Tint 651 - 597.5 grams
Tint 671 - 601.9 grams
Tint 695 - 1072.2 grams total

I'll let you know how closely it matches the original paint...
