Interior paint help please !

I'm just about finished repairing the rot in the windshield seat that got into the dash .
I can't find the correct code for this paint .
The body color is Teal Frost (F) or Island Teal , or what ever you want to call it , and the interior is a darker blue , or blue/teal .
Anybody know the correct color code for the paint on the dash ?

TCP color library, the interior paint codes are on the back of the factory chip sheets.

Looks like 953 = Med. Blue Poly
Thanks ,
That page isn.t in the Dupont history disc , and I can't seem to find any paper copies around . I had a box full of old paint stuff that will probably re-materialize now .

Well that didn't work !
I can't cross it over to Dupont . I like ChromaBase / clear system .
Dupont help line crossed it over for us . But the code they gave me is Yellow Mist .
Anyone got anything else ?

Frank, did you guys try to match the color up from the Spectra Master book? I can almost guarantee the color will be in there. It can be matched up if you can bring a sample piece of the color into the Dupont distributor. It wouldnt be a BC/CC application. It would be mixed in the Chroma Base system, but with a vinyl gloss agent added to make it a single stage, ready to spray product, much like lacquer. Use medium gloss for your application....

I am going to hit it with Lucite clear , will leave the correct sheen .
Don't have any books at this time , but a brand new Dupont computer system ...., and I'll stop with that as I suppose my ignorance of the system is adding to frustrations .
Tried to use the camera , but it wouldn't communicate with the system .
I have issues with things going smoothly when working on my own junk .
If we can get the camera to tell the computer what it saw it'll be done , just really frustrated , and somebody is bound to know the mix code .

The area between the dashpad and the windshield should be flat, not medium gloss.

My information says:

Dark Blue Metallic (Poly means Metallic, sometimes it's referred to as Irid.)

Codes I have are: W-3702

Dupont: Semi gloss Lacquer 863-98858, Flat Lacquer 863-56706
Rinshed-Mason: Semi gloss Lacquer L50BD007, Flat Lacquer L54BD004
Tintometer Formula No.: Semi gloss 168B25, Flat 168B21

Maybe something in there helps?
