'72 H/O Wheel Paint

In case this helps other CO-ers:
I had the wheels on my '72 H/O painted recently.
Local automotive paint stores my restoration guy has used for many years weren't finding the recommended "Ditzler" 24149 or anything matching it. Ditzler apparently doesn't exist anymore.
Color matching to the wheels wasn't working either.
Koda came to my rescue (again) with a few options including "PPG" 24149.
Attachments include the label of the paint that was ultimately used, a dead-on match to my original spare wheel color.
Very happy with the results.

well PPG owned Ditzler they just dropped the name over the years shot a lot of Ditzler back in the day,, looks like code # is the same.. Keep in mind this does not always translate with new paints as the toners to make the paint are different then the original lacquer ones.. can come close but not exact sometimes
