In case you didn't already find this out, Ditzler's paint code for your "31" would be DAL-41566-DQE. (Ditzler means PPG.) This is a 1954 paint code; maybe the paint guys can still do something with this old number.
How's the engine running now? Still smokin'? Coolant, perhaps?

Actually, I went with another color since I didn't care much for the Willow Green. My biggest mistake was letting the auto paint supply store talk me into using acrylic laquer. Goes on nice and pretty and dries quick, but you can't wet sand it if you get any orange peel (which I did.) I was thinking about shooting it with DuPont's acrylic laquer clearcoat this spring to see if I can get a little smoother appearance
I currently have the valve covers and intake manifold off. I'm looking at replacing the valve stem seals and perhaps the valve guide seals as well.
