Help on paint code for my Cortina

Hey folks..

I am trying to get a paint code off my car and reference it to a manufacturer that still exists in order to paint my car the origional color. Because my car is pre 1965 ( it's a 63 deluxe..) I don't think that the vin number has the paint code as part of the string of digits. Can anyone tell me for sure where to find the actual paint code on either of the two number tags under the hood? And further, can anyone reference it to a paint code from a manufacturer?

The color is the dark non metalic blue, and I need to get some mixed up to spray some inners.

OMG!!! Does that ever help!!!! I was pretty sure that my car was Ambassador blue, but nothing else was obvious, as the paint code is not in the vin number on early cars.

Thanks a whole bunch! I like the tech site as well... I'llhave to flip around it when I have some time...

Well it's off to the paint store!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
